I negotiated $6k for CME, all other required expenses paid for (aside from CME), and a barely existing non-compete (5 miles) with a few built-in exemptions even though it barely exists - only two locations within the 5 miles, and one is part of the exemption. Since call is paid extra, and I going to cover my own unit, not a big deal since I get paid. Long term, I won’t take call, but for short term I don’t mind. My other half is currently a resident in a busy field and most weekends I’m on call, she’s on call as well. The very few I cover when she’s off, she gets some time to herself and sees family.At that total income... you ever question whether it's worth it to work those weekends, given I'm guessing your total marginal tax rate has to be North of 50% on the extra $40k/year? Or are the weekends mandatory for this gig?
TLDR, mandatory, and because I negotiated other things, I left this as is.
