New attending out about a year and thought I'd share how it's gone for me.
Job details: Base + RVU, hospital employee at an academic institution with a 401k match, see about 1.7 pph, will probably make about 300k this year having worked about 125 hours per month. I'm just around the golden $200/hour mark, but under the standard 2 pph threshold. Overall I feel pretty good, not too burned out, but admittedly a part of me is envious of everyone talking about their $250+ per hour gigs.
As posters above alluded to, I think a lot of young attendings start out focused on the dollar per hour mark only to wind up in shops where they're in over their head in terms of staffing, volume, acuity, lack of/difficult consultants, etc. A friend of mine is looking for his 3rd job already, I think mostly because he's been chasing the high hourly figures.
