For any American out there, yes it is a decent offer.
For people in sdn, anything less that 400k 4days no call is chump change

if you like the location, hours and pay are decent

It's more than I make as a pediatric endocrinologist. And I still have call.

Depends really on the practice setting and location. Is it at a academic medical center, private practice, or something like a federal qualifying health center? Is there an option after a year or two to go to production based salary? Without that info, I think it’s probably a very normal offer. Maybe a little low for a rural job offer but on par with regular offer at a desirable city that isn’t too high COL like San Francisco. Congrats! The no call part is so amazing. I would take a slightly lower salary for that benefit.

I think the location really matters. My coresidents are getting 200-210k for those hours with switch to production after 1-2 years with a base salary. Those that are doing nursing rounding w/o transitions or deliveries are seeing 215-225k with switch to production in 1 year. But this is in Midwest in a small city. I think both are wanting to see 24 patients per day

Hard to know without a second offer to compare it to.

If it’s 4 days a week it’s middle of the road. If it’s 5 days and non-academic you’re getting taken to the woodshed
