rbt pay (illinois)

hello guys,

i’m posting because i need some advice. i became a behavior tech september 2024, and have been working toward my certification. at my current job i am very unhappy, and have been looking for a job that pays better. my job recently cut my hours tremendously due to the holidays, and it has made me very stressed. i interviewed with a clinic today, they’re closer to me. i guess im just wondering after that interview, how much u guys make as a bt, or think a bt should make. i make 17.50 at my current job, this other job offers 20 an hour. reasonably, what should an RBT and a BT make in u guy’s opinion?
