Woof, seems very low. Maybe a local jail? Here's CDCR's (state) salaries:

cchcs.ca.gov

Psychiatry Careers

Psychiatrist Opportunities with California Correctional Health Care Services, Apply With Us
cchcs.ca.gov cchcs.ca.gov

Staff Psychiatrist – Onsite Inpatient Unit
$392,460 – $471,564 (Board Certified)
$382,392 – $458,292 (Board Eligible)

Staff Psychiatrist – Onsite
$347,172 – $417,156 (Board Certified)
$338,268 – $405,408 (Board Eligible)

Staff Psychiatrist – Telehealth/Headquarters
$301,896 – $362,748 (Board Certified)
$294,156 – $352,536 (Board Eligible)

And those are usually minimums. MOUs often have additional bonuses that show up your paycheck but not on the posted salaries.

If they're offering the lower end of the salary scale/step/whatever, try to get a job+salary offer from a competing firm (Kaiser, county, state etc) and present it to them - that should help push your starting salary step up.

The "telehealth" is still come to the office every weekday in Elk Grove, right? I'm pretty sure that's what they mean by headquarters.

Wow, salaries have definitely gone up recently. I rotated through CDCR during fellowship not too long ago and they were offering me 380k/year to stay for inpatient psych. That was already more than typical (my co-fellow was offered 20k less) but the local chief was trying to set up a TBI unit and was offering a little bit more to make it worth it. When you add in benefits and call, those salaries are on par, if not better, than what CDCR locums are making.

California is a different ball game I think!

Gotta be to live in a 1500-2000 sq foot place and pay 2-3x rent/mortagage. That sunshine is expensive and maybe the worst financial decision for anyone looking to FIRE but doable with high dual income who want to work into late 50s-60s and dont mind traffic
 
Anyone work in California while living out of state? Can you do this with CDCR given their periodic in-person requirements?
 
It's been awhile, but I don't know if CDCR really has fully virtual positions. They definitely have telehealth where you didn't go into the prison, but last I checked, for those you still had to go into a CDCR telehealth facility each day (I know the big one is in Elk Grove). It was a place in an office park and you sat down and you connected with inmates across the state from the office. I hope they've changed this, but that was still the standard throughout most of the pandemic and before. I have to imagine actual virtual positions where you could live where ever would be extremely competitive, even considering the paycut and patient population.

Medscape is provider reported, a slightly different dataset that has some reporting biases.

Their numbers are generally decent though, very in line with non-academic position pay from what I've seen. Their number of reporting psychiatrists is quite high, and their numbers are less skewed than I've seen with MGMA, but that's just my personal observation

where are job fairs residents can sign up for?

I've heard there's plenty of recruiters at APA like littlefred mentioned. I did one or two through CareerMD which were okay. I also did an online one with Practice link that had a decent variety of academic and private employers.

Ideally your PD and/or Program coordinator should know about options as well.

Thank God I'm an anesthesiologist. If I had to be a doctor making this little, I'd be angrier than 10 men.

I mean, psychiatry can make $500k+ easy if you want to hustle and put a few PT jobs together. Most of us just prefer not to work more than 30-35 clinical hours a week, take any call, or have to wake up before 7:30 am...

I don't NEED to live on $500k/yr, I WANT to. Big difference.

Sure, so would anyone, but you’re in a sub forum where most of us do more than just fine working what would be PT hours for most docs and could hit that $500k+ if we wanted to. There’s psychiatrists here making upper 6 figures without killing themselves. Most of us just choose lifestyle over chasing that green.

If you don’t NEED $500k, then why the eggless exaggerations about making less? Seems like crapping on a field just to be condescending.

I strongly considered anesthesiology. The year I matched was notoriously uncompetitive for gas, I think Duke's program went like half filled that year. At the end of the day, what pushed me to psychiatry was that I didn't want to spend my career dealing with (and catering to) personality disordered narcissists all day. Money was nice but it was an ego thing. If I had to go through med school and residency, I'd be angrier than 10 men to have to play second fiddle to other doctors my entire career.

Too true my 3 egg omelets now a 1 egg omelet and we're painting marshmallows for easter this year.

I can no longer afford eggs, so I sneak into various hotels that have free breakfast buffets. I make sure to wear some nice clothes I picked up at the Goodwill so I don't look suss.
