Anonymous peers helping peers level up - I don't know if it gets better than that. Thanks to everyone who's shared and paid it forward.

Anthony B.

As a woman renegotiating my base pay and not able to afford gatekeeping databases, this resource is so helpful.

Great idea and long overdue. We need to start putting our minds together and stop letting so many people get lowballed.

Kelly B.

MD Family Medicine

When I was an employed physician straight out of fellowship, I found out I was making 65% of my peers. I wish I had Marit then, and I'm glad it's here now.
