And I too have a buddy in private practice in Santa Monica who started ~$240K. Sounds like your friend got f*d.
Friends in the following places:
Santa Monica- starting at 230K plus quarterly bonuses
Stockton- starting at 265k
San Diego- starting at 145k
San Fran- starting at 185K
I just looked it up as Santa Monica is small and there are only two hospitals in Santa Monica. One is a Univ of California one. The other is a Caltholic-Private one. The Univ of Calif job might be 120k while the private one might be 240k.
But the range seems reasonable 120k-about 300k depending practice setting, and in general the less desriable the location, the more you make. It is one of the unique facts of medicine and probably due to the fact that managed care and insurers are more powerful in highly populated areas and the more desirable a location is the less you need to offer to get high quality applicants to move there.
That Santa Monica friend of yours has a pretty good life Id say.
Completely agree, except that it was stated they were in private practice making $120K.

Of course, what are the partnership levels at each place is the real question.
A dermpath friend from socal told me the starting salaries for path jobs there. It was pretty depressing.
Numbers. We want numbers!
Funny, I got offered that at a job interview and thought I heard him wrong. Thanked him for the interview and never called back. Never sell yourself that low, they are taking advantage of you.
I presume that the payor mix here at these places is rather lopsided toward private insurance.
