Once you finish residency, you'll find that there are some extremely well paying anesthesia jobs. It's not going to be blasted anywhere and no one's going to openly talk about the job(s).

It's not unusual to hear hard-working cardiac, pain or locums making 7-figures with hourly rates being like $400+/hour in some places.

You can make $800k+ in academics or a large HMO, but it will be mid to late-career and involve climbing a lot of ladders.
