I got paid 75k/year my first year as a newly minted BCBA in California in a low cost city. I later left the private sector to work in the government field as a 'behavior analyst' 122k/year. 6 figure money as a BCBA is out there, you just have to find the right organization. Hospitals (working with TBI patients) and Government (education or federal intel agencies) pays the best, over private centers or in-home orgs.

Hey I am in grad school for aba and I graduate in December. To build my experience and knowledge I want to stay in the clinical setting for a few years however I am wanting to transition to the government. Do you mind explaining what that transition looked like for you ?

@@novajd7192 Federal government agencies like hiring people with diverse background and experiences. The minimum tends to be 1 year of proffesional experience in your field of studies after earning your masters before they will consider you. The FBI, and Secret Service are flexible with hiring people with diverse and specialize backgrounds outside of law enforcement. Alternatively, if you commit to earning your BCBA, Some County office of education organization or school districs will pay their BCBAs 6 figure salaries for 200 or fewer days of work per year. The clinical setting isn't doing too hot due to stagnate insurance reimbursement rate for BCBA billable hours that ought to increase.

I started investing as an RBT, after (2015-2019) 4 years and some supervision work I had reached my first 6 figures. As I worked as a BCBA from 2019 - now i touched around 400K. Negotiating pay is KEY, I love that you made this video. I hope everyone behavior analyst starts investing and really unlocks the power of their incomes!

BCBA’s make more than 100k $75 per hour in Florida and I know others than make $80-$90 per hour. Sorry but they don’t pay you a fair salary. $29 per hour is less that RBT make. Salary in Florida for RBTs is between )26-35 per hour. As a RBT you can make between 75k and 90k it’s depend how many hours you do per week.

@@TheBanjoShowOfficialI live in Florida and I'm an RBT. I make $30 an hour but my annual salary is not even that much. Being an RBT is very unpredictable. Cancelations are inevitable.

3:08 we shouldnt definitely talk about pay. We should definitely have a union. Not talking aboit about pay and not having a union leaves us vulnerable. Gotta hold these companies accountable, yeah we like to help people but we still should fairly compensated across the board. It takes a lot to get the certification. Remember, doctors do hours and get attednies like we do hours and get supervisors. Though we are not operating on people we are still dealing with the mental space of people and manipulating behavior sanctioned by insurance through ethics. No reason we should not be paid less than 100k across the board.

There is a great thread on Reddit that discusses unionizing. It is complicated and not the company’s fault solely. Insurance companies drive the market rates through their reimbursement rates.
