For the upcoming grads interviewing or just working their first job:
Who knows their true hourly rate W2 when working days, past 5pm, or on standby?
Who gets quoted 1099 fake “salaries”?
Explained the exact number of call hours and backup committed by contract?
Point it out and have them give you a spreadsheet with breakdown of a real take home compensation package for hours committed. And that’s on the contract. Compare apples to apples. Not old school nebulous salaries and just here to get the work done.
I had a random group owner reach out to me for 400k 1099 for Q4 easy home call. I said at Q4, it would have to be W2 400k minimum for the time commitment in the major metro market I’m in. Probably low for other places. He fumbled about how PLLC saves you a lot in taxes. I told him I lose about 30% to taxes and other stuff so really you paying me 200s for W2.
You know anesthesia pretty well out of residency. But did you study finances to protect yourself from private scoundrels? Corporate hospitals should outline commitments exactly too especially if they want a non compete with radius. We all should pressure the move to CRNA style pay. I haven’t met one who is salaried. Maybe in other states.
