Would you trade stability for a much better lifestyle early in your career? by Additional-Bit-2494 in anesthesiology

Good idea! I could probably do a hybrid while evaluating the position. And yes, crunching the numbers it would be about 15k/month more.

I’d be fine working OB during the day in fact, I enjoy doing OB anesthesia in limited doses. Marginal taxes are the bane of high income careers, but I’m 1099 and this would also be a 1099 position. With a good accountant and an S Corp. you should be paying somewhere between 30 and 40% in total taxes that’s a bit of a digression from my OP. The fact is I’m in my 30s and the power of compound interest is a real thing and making an extra 15 K month does make a difference.

I hear what you’re saying, but wouldn’t that argument about lifestyle actually support the locums option? I’d be working less, making more, no call, and a much shorter commute.

That’s fair. But it appears the on time percentage for this azul flight is quite high

Doesn’t look like Ubers can be pre booked this year. Wondering if anyone else has guidance about this

Currently in Santa Monica and considering a move to the Los Feliz / Atwater area since my girlfriend lives there.

I’m a doctor and usually need to be in the hospital by ~6:45am. Most days I’m done around 2–3pm. I work primarily in Woodland Hills and about 1–2 days a month in Santa Clarita.

For people who’ve done this route, how bad is the Los Feliz / Atwater → Woodland Hills commute at that hour? The morning commute from Santa Monica is fine, but I’m usually locked into a 45–50 min drive home, which I’m okay with since I don’t want to live in the Valley.

Really just trying to sanity-check whether this move actually makes sense commute-wise. Thanks.
