A friend of mine works for Kaiser in the dc metro. To me it seems like a lifestyle gig. They work 40-45h a week and make 450 but good benefits m. Seems way underpaid to me esp w the cost of living. They just lost 9 of their docs who started their own group so are very actively looking for people.

I've noticed that the average salary seems around 450 which does seem low considering the COL. Thanks

It’s not the pay. It’s the number days worked each month. A know a couple off people there

40 hours 5 days a week (locums covers ob occasionally) there it gets old. People want compressed schedules or make their own schedules these days

I saw a gas work ad for med Star Georgetown. Pat was 425-450k with a 75k sign on. This is low ? And is there any room to negotiate base at these academic places ?

What’s a better way to do this then? Like work locums, even as a new grad?

That’s what my friend who lives in area does. Part time 0.5 (not at Kaiser) but another place and does locums elsewhere.

New grads I don’t recommend u do locums till u get it boards under ur belt which usually means one year.
