Lifestyle: Allergy
Salary/hr and total comp: Anesthesiology
Stress level: Anesthesiology
Allergy has a better lifestyle because it's an outpatient specialty with like no call requirement and almost no emergencies (send to the ED). Anesthesiology usually has a moderate to heavy call component.
Salary/hr and total comp is better in anesthesiology hands down. The demand is off the charts. Allergy is easily saturated, especially because the allergist per capita required is relatively lower than other specialties. This drives salaries down.
If we're talking stress due to medical acuity, it's obviously way higher in anesthesiology, because it can go as wrong as possible at any moment. Where allergy would be higher is when it comes to starting PP, due to having to run a business.

Salary for allergy in private practice is still very solid especially for how little they work. 4 day work week making 350-450K+ literally working under 40 hrs per week no call no emergencies depending on location/model is a pretty sweet deal. Sure you can come out of anesthesia residency and start making 600K but youre undeniably working more and the stress level is considerably higher when you look at whats at stake day to day clinical management wise between an anesthesiologist and an allergist
Within allergy, how is the job market in terms of ability to choose your location? How long does it take to ramp up to the 350-450 range?
