Should I lower my hourly rate ?

​

I’m a specialist physician based outside of the U.S. and have been on Guidepoint for about 9 months. I have 1.5 years of experience post-residency and 6 years of overall experience.

My current rate is $300/hour.

I’ve been getting around 4–6 consultation/screening requests per month.

However, I haven’t been selected for any of them so far. Since most requests seem to come from the U.S., I’m wondering whether being based outside the U.S. may be one reason I haven’t been selected.

I’m considering lowering my rate to $200/hour to see if that improves my chances of getting selected.

For those with experience with Guidepoint or other expert networks:

Is $300/hour reasonable for a specialist physician?

Would dropping to $200 make a meaningful difference?

Would you suggest something in between, like $250/hour?

Could the lack of selection be more about profile/project fit, location, or availability than the rate?

Would appreciate hearing from people who have actually worked with expert networks.

Remote endocrinology opportunities for non-US physician (based in North Africa)?

Hello everyone,

I’m a licensed physician with specialty training in endocrinology, currently practicing in North Africa. My medical degree and training are outside the U.S.

I’m exploring remote work options and trying to understand what is realistically possible for someone in my situation.

Specifically, I’d like to know:

Is remote clinical endocrinology (telemedicine) feasible without U.S. or EU licensure?

What types of remote roles are realistically open to international physicians (e.g., medical writing, pharma, clinical research, advisory work)?

Are there companies or platforms that regularly hire physicians in endocrinology for remote, non-local roles?

If anyone has a similar background, what path worked for you?

No Guidepoint invitations for 5 months after my first consultation. Normal ?

I joined Guidepoint as an expert in January 2026. Within 24 hours of joining, I received two project invitations and was selected for one consultation.

​

However, since then (about five months ago), I haven't received any additional project invitations.

​

For context, I'm a physician specialist with about 5 years of professional experience, and my rate is set at $300/hour.

​

I'm wondering:

Is it normal to go several months without receiving new opportunities on Guidepoint?

Is $300/hour too high for someone with my level of experience?

Are there specific things I can do to increase the number of invitations I receive (profile updates, keywords, adjusting my rate, joining other expert networks, etc.)?

I'd appreciate hearing from experts who have experience with Guidepoint or other expert networks.
