Gaswork.com salaries

Members don't see this ad.

I was told by one resident on my Anesthesia rotation that the salaries posted on Gaswork.com are inflated and not representative of what you will actually get out of residency, while another told me that they're spot-on.

Is there a consensus on how accurate these offers really are? If they are inflated, is there a quick way to figure out what you'll really make (eg, minus 50K if new grad)?

Thanks and best of luck to all my co-applicants! Only two more interviews to go for me...can't wait!

I'd say they're accurate.

What you have to distinguish, though is which ones are, say, a 400K 1099 vs a 400K w2.

They don't distinguish between these when they post a job (I dont think).

The posting can say anything they want...it doesn't mean that they will pay you that.

You actually have to read the contract.

When I was searching last year, I found that many of the positions would offer an initial or maximum salary that included benefits, malpractice, etc. Kind of misrepresenting themselves if you ask me, but they'd say $400k...that would mean $270k salary, malpractice, retirement, "bonus," healthcare, lunch money, whatever. As they say, buyer beware, and good luck with your search.

Also - keep in mind that you have to consider WHY any group feels the need to advertise on Gaswork. They certainly have their place, but using them as any kind of barometer for a job market or comparative salaries doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

We get calls from prospective MD's, anesthetists, and recruiters every single day. Advertising would be of no benefit.
