The PA Offer Sprint

Don't sign your first PA offer alone.

A 7-day sprint with a practicing ER PA. We go through your offer line by line, check it against real market data, and write your counter together.

Free 15 minutes to see if it fits. Then $299, refunded if the first working call isn’t useful.

What you get

Your offer, line by line. Then a counter in your voice.

New-grad and early-career PAs who have an offer in hand, or interviews in the next 60 days.

01

Offer review

Base, productivity or RVU terms, shift differentials, schedule, CME, PTO, benefits, malpractice and tail, bonuses and clawbacks, restrictive covenants, termination, supervision, and onboarding.

02

Market benchmark

Your offer compared against AAPA, BLS, and NCCPA data for your setting, specialty, and area. Each number is labeled with the source it came from.

03

Your counter, written together

A short, professional email in your voice with the two or three asks that matter most.

04

Negotiation call prep

What to say, what to expect back, where to hold, and where to give.

05

One follow-up

When they respond, we look at it together before you answer.

Most new grads get one offer, feel lucky, and sign it. The recruiter on the other side does this every week. NCCPA’s data on recently certified PAs shows 68.1% were offered incentives beyond base pay. If you don’t ask, you don’t find out what was on the table.

NCCPA

Recently certified PAs: 2024 median starting salary $115,000. 68.1% were offered incentives beyond base pay.

AAPA

2026 Salary Report: median $140,000 and median bonus $6,000 for full-time PAs.

BLS

National median $135,880 (May 2025), with wages by state and metro in the OEWS tables.

Published figures, not results from this sprint. At least two sources per offer, and each number named.

If you’re not getting value after our first call, tell me and I’ll refund you in full.

What this is not

  • Not legal advice. Mark is not an attorney. Non-competes, indemnification, and malpractice-tail language go to an employment attorney licensed in your state.
  • You negotiate. Mark does not call the employer for you.
  • If the offer is from an employer he works for, he will turn it down.
  • No offer, and no interviews in the next 60 days: he’ll point you elsewhere and reconnect when an offer lands.

The work starts where the syllabus stops.

01

School ends. Practice starts harder.

Many new PAs feel unprepared for complex decisions, interpersonal skill, and the pace of real patient care. The curriculum is full. The first job still feels like a different language.

02

Mentors are scarce when you need them.

Students struggle to find a practicing PA who will actually review a CV, walk a contract, or take the call after a hard shift. Feedback from supervisors is often thin.

03

Leadership is requested, rarely taught.

A JAAPA study cited in our program brief found 93% of students want leadership training in school, while about half said they received any training that felt relevant.

Two minutes

Find the offer that fits.

Two questions. An offer, or interviews in the next 60 days, lands on the $299 Offer Sprint. A longer clinical or program question lands on mentorship, which has no public price.

Step 1 of 2

Where are you right now?

Four things, done on purpose.

01

Coaching

Personalized guidance on career planning, clinical confidence, and the first years of practice. Not a lecture you sit through. A conversation about your actual next step.

02

Discussion, not a course catalog

Twelve topic areas are written as points we can talk through. They are not a finished curriculum you log into.

03

Career preparation

CV review, interview coaching, benefit-package literacy, and a job search that is specific to how PAs are actually hired.

04

A network

Connections between students, new graduates, and people already in the work. The point is a career you can stay in, not a single offer.

An empty hospital corridor late at night.

Ten years of nights. The first offer is still the part nobody walks you through.

Discussion topics

Twelve threads. Not twelve courses.

These are points we can talk through in mentorship — risk, notes, procedures, money, insurance, leadership. There is no full course behind each title yet. The $299 Offer Sprint is a separate, seven-day review of a job offer.

Pricing

The sprint is $299. Mentorship is a conversation.

The Offer Sprint is the published rate. Longer coaching is scoped with you, so that price is not on this page.

The advisor

Mark Beyer, PA-C

Emergency medicine

Board credential
CAQ-EM
Before the ER
Ortho spine
Also now
Telehealth

Mark is a practicing physician assistant with a CAQ in Emergency Medicine, and the owner of The PA Advisor, LLC. He has spent about 10 years in emergency medicine, much of it on nights, after starting in orthopedic spine. He also works in primary care telehealth, has hired for ER and telehealth roles, and sits on an interdisciplinary practice committee.

He precepts clinical students for Point Loma Nazarene University’s PA program and has taught skills labs, radiology review, and new-graduate panels. He is a Wagner College physician assistant. Students who rotate with him asked for coaching that lives next to the curriculum, from someone still in practice.

“PA Beyer is fantastic and a natural mentor. I am grateful for all his advice which has been invaluable to my future practice. He is a consummate professional in the way he carries himself as a PA. I’m so thankful for his mentorship.”

Melissa, PA-S

Questions, answered

  • No. This is negotiation coaching. Mark is a PA, not an attorney. For legal terms in the contract — non-competes, indemnification, malpractice tail — talk to an employment attorney licensed in your state.
