I'm confused by the "excluding part time work." By definition, if you aren't regularly working those hours (lets say 7-3, 5 days a week minimum), aren't you a part time worker? lol So I imagine most "Full time anesthesiologists" work those hours.

As far as your comment regarding 7-3, 5 days a week making "only" 600-650k: What group in LA/OC offers this pay and life style without having to constantly do locums (which is a pain for some people or if you have a family and stationed). I am not aware of such gig in LA/OC (Academia, big PP groups, kaiser, county, or other big hospitals).

There seems to be only one person who works less than part time makes more than full time and gets more time off than board meeting trustees.

He doesn't always drink beer, but when he does, he prefers Dos Equis

If you are happy and content.

if you are happy with ur compensation and work load model. That’s all that matters.

Me personally. I can’t stand working past 12pm these days for full pay. I’m at the gym by 11am half the time at my regular day. Or picking up my kids by 230p

That the lifestyle most people think about when you mention lifestyle jobs. Not just weeks off. But being out by mommy track hours to pickup kids and make dinner or run errands for them.

I hope I have some real short days because working 7-3 or longer each day is painful.
I’m glad you have the gig that works for you but this isn’t the reality. Realistically a normal anesthesiology job is work 7–3 on good days maybe even 7-5. Out by 12pm every is NOT the norm and is usually a special situation. I just put that out there for people coming into the field or searching the job market so they don’t get upset when they start working. Again, if you found a way to make 800k, taking 12 wks vacation, working 5 hrs 4 days a week. Excellent for you but again, not reality.

Maybe he/she works for one of those highly predatory groups where the junior associates make 300k working 60 hours/week so the super partners can make 800k working 20 hrs/week
