I did a similar part-time RA gig at $24/hr - biggest factor was whether they had clear SOPs and a go-to person to sign off on source docs; ask who trains you and which EDC youβll use. Also confirm if the 25-30 hours are in fixed blocks or scattered across days - schedule predictability mattered more than the pay for me.
Iβd ask who actually employs you (GCM vs the site) and whether training time and travel between Stamford clinics are paid; in my last $24/hr RA contract, no-shows and unpaid commute time quietly cut my take-home by about 15%. Iβd also confirm the EDC youβll use and whether thereβs a minimum weekly hours guarantee when visits get bumped.
