Years ago my cousin OD worked at a small hospital in MA and his salary was about 80K working 8 to 5 , 12 to 8 and Sat 9 to 5. Paid for parking 100 per month. Worked in same dept. as Ophthalmology . 2% raise per year. The Ophthalmologist salary 520K annual. No evening and no Saturday schedule for the MD. On Surgery days 1 to 2 times a week the ophthalmologists start before 6 am and finish before noon. rest of the day off.

How long had the OD been there? How long had the MD been there?

Not fair to throw a starting salary vs a tenured partner.
