Be mindful of 35% federal taxes kicking in around 210k as single w2 wage earner. Vs 460k for married w2 wage earner

I don’t think 450/k

If you go to 4 days a week or have some early days, 7-3, you'd be far more successful IMHO. 6 weeks is plenty of vacation for a day doc job. In addition your hourly rate is going to have to come up a good bit from 195/hr.

6 weeks is NOT THE STANDARD anymore. That’s circa 2017 or earlier. Than it became 7-8

Now 9-10 weeks vacation is the standard even for day full time docs.

And 6 weeks off unless you can take 1-2 days off here or there is not the same as 6 weeks having to take full week off.

Lowly Academic places usually have 25 days off but then add 1-2 weeks paid cme. That makes it 7 weeks off where they get to take single days off. Add in 10-12 paid holidays paid

That brings it to a min 9 weeks paid off.

I’m at 9 week off at my place plus 12 paid state/federal holidays. I get comp a day if I work a holiday.

It really is incredible how much more draining those last two hours are. Did a locums gig last year that was a week of 7-5 and pretty steady all day, and the only thing I wanted to do at the end of each shift was go back to the hotel, eat, and go to bed.

7-5 definitely should not be sold as a "day doc" position imo. Beyond the workload, it also leaves absolutely no time to get anything done during the "day" (i.e. pick up kids, take care of other business/errands during business hrs, etc)

Totally agree, I did a locums gig last year for 6 months, 10 hour days 2 weeks at a time, just exhausted by the end of the day. Was not good for my health.

We have had lots of success with partner track physician recruiting - we were thinking of trying something new with this new contract but maybe we will just end up hiring another partner track person.

The problem w utsw (academic program in town that pays 350ish or so) is the abysmal vacation… 3 weeks! It’s insane - a few of their interviewees that have also interviewed w us or other USAP groups have mentioned the terrible vacation plan as a reason they haven’t signed

!!! That’s why I didn’t go to a UT program 14 years ago. Sorry to hear it’s still ridiculous.

I did a 7-5 job instead. It was 4 days a week though and was pretty manageable. A three day weekend every week makes up for 4 long days.

You can use all the sugammadex you want. Zero restriction - lol - is this a thing elsewhere?
Im not exactly sure what salary that would work out to - we would have to talk about it. Our 7-3 m-f position pays 350 plus full benefits and profit sharing… we would have to discuss what the one less day a week would be. Feel free to dm/text me or pass along my information to whoever is interested in discussing- we will try to work something out if possible

We signed a new contract and thus have a couple new day doc/no call positions to fill. 7-5 Monday-Friday 6 weeks vacation 450k plus full benefits including profit sharing. Solo cases only - no care team. DM or text me 561-644-2822 if you want to know more - Amy

That works out to 200/h if you count working 45wks out of the year (off for 6 weeks and 1more week off if Holidays fall during the workweek throughout the year). That is quite below the current rates (esp as a W2) for an Anesthesiologist, more along the lines of what CRNAs are getting paid.

I can’t disagree. I also think it’s under market
