FDNY Paramedic questions

[SabresMedic88]

Hi guys, I have a few questions that I can't seem to find the answers to anywhere. What is an FDNY paramedics salary with overtime? (Ballpark estimate) On the nyc.gov it does not reflect salary with overtime and mandation. Does FDNY ride double Medic? What is the starting hourly rate?

I'm already a paramedic in NYS just looking into some info on FDNY

I can't tell you the starting yearly salary, but I can tell you that starting out without overtime you'll take home about $1k every two weeks. Yep. Garbage collectors, on the other hand...

Starting paramedic salary with FDNY is $43,690, from http://www.nyc.gov/html/fdny/html/community/ems_salary_benefits_042607.shtml

Median household income for New York City is $54,554 in 2009, per http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/36000.html

Enjoy!

Oh wait, I just saw that you specifically wanted overtime. Sorry, couldn't tell you that, I'm a long way from New York. The impression I've always got, however, is that while EMS in se is not an especially lucrative career, the disparity in pay becomes a more pronounced nuisance in the cities with a much higher cost of living...
