- The status: a neurologist can practice under different statuses, such as salaried or self-employed. This decision influences remuneration, since a salaried doctor cannot set his or her own fees, unlike a self-employed one.
- The specialty: neurologists specializing in neurosurgery, neuro-oncology or neuro-immunology will have an added value on the job market, which will imply a better average remuneration, thanks to the opening of better neurologist job offers.
