“With the 12 weeks of vacation, the work-life balance is very strong. During the work days, while 10-hour days, they are very reasonable to accomplish. On the other hand, with the amount of vacation afforded, I could either take it to travel, stay home, or work locums in addition, which helps with taxes.”
Peoria, Illinois40 years54 hrs/wk$640k
“I am on cardiac call once every 5 nights. Rare call backs. First out after cardiac call so typically a long day followed by a short day. Time off allows me to do locums. Brought another one 180k doing locums for 7 weeks. Didn’t feel burned out at all”
South Carolina2 years27 hrs/wk$700k
“Monday through Friday, 7:30 case starts to ORs coming down around 3:30-4pm. We take 24 hour call about once a month, incentivized late shifts about once a week, and overnight call about once every 10 or so days. ”
Providence, Rhode Island2 years50 hrs/wk$550k
“I enjoy being able to have my time at home and not have to take any load home with me ”
Chicago, Illinois1 years40 hrs/wk$500k
“Typically have 1-2 calls per week. Calls are either late shifts or 24 hour calls. 24hr call is followed by 2 post call days off. If staffing is required on the 2nd post call day, we get called in and paid extra for a shorter day of work (I.e. 6-7 hours). It is a work-hard, play hard lifestyle. We work approximately 55 hours per week but we have 9+ weeks of PTO. I find my job very rewarding but it can be very stressful and draining. Requires a lot of confidence, mental stability and persistence. ”
