MGMA (maybe Medscape) is probably the best ballpark estimate you're going to get for most people. Here is an older version

I have heard a lot of talk that salary surveys may underestimate.

Private practices, I am assuming, are like most businesses and depend on the market, business model, clientel, payer mix, overhead, yada yada.

From reddit thread about foot and ankle ortho, private practice: Started at 350k if I remember correctly, by year 3 or 4 he was at 650k. He had a great lifestyle too (If I'm remembering he worked like 4 or 4.5 days a week). Also said there are ortho jobs at huge hospitals where you can just put in 40 a week, no weekends or call and take home 400k.

I've heard similar numbers from other residents/attendings.

Also important to note that salaries for many specialties can be quite deflated in saturated areas (i.e. any larger coastal city). I have a family friend who finished his IM residency recently in one such city (currently a cardio fellow), and the offers he was hearing for fresh cardio attendings in that city were much lower than MGMA medians. And of course the inverse will be true if you don't mind living in a less populated area.
