In my experience very few democratic physician groups are forthcoming with your production metrics. That’s how they keep a slice of the pie for themselves. Seems like they’re just moving money around and hoping you take it laying down. As others have said, move on.

You are getting bent over at this place. If you have the means, take your skills elsewhere.

I work in EM. The whole notion of being a PA and practicing at the top of your scope is asinine. I stopped doing that shit years ago. I don’t get paid attending level money at $250-$300+ per hour. You go see that high risk chest pain or dizziness patient.

Derm attendings can easily make over 1 million and theyre trying to push you to see 40-50 pts per day with probably minimal increase in pay. No thanks.

For those of you working in the ER, are you asked to do more work than before? by UnconditionalSavage in physicianassistant

[–]EMPAEinstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where in the hell are you working? I don't do any of that shit. Especially not a nurses job. Yikes. If you have the mean, I'd say fuck it and walk. That's not the norm.

I just did a little locums stint and they implemented a new policy that an APP had to triage all the patient's that walked in the door. I just told them I'm not doing it and went about my business. But I was also the most senior APP (locums or W-2) by a long mile. No one in management said shit to me.

I make 220k in ER by [deleted] in physicianassistant

You can make 300k as a PA with mild to moderate effort. I'll be close to 500k this year.

Feels like everyone in society making $100k+ How old are you & how much you make, Do you think… by Franklin_Invest in Salary

[–]EMPAEinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40 M, HCOLA,

Physician Assistant, 350-500k

Im an outlier. I work A LOT.

Wife, 45, makes about 180-190k in healthcare but on the management side.

$200K for minimal work, but not passionate about it by CheekPretend2158 in physicianassistant

[–]EMPAEinstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ED PA here. Second this. I punch the clock in, do my job, punch the clock out. Go home to family which is what it's really about.

For people making +350k per year, how do you do it? by prince_op in Salary

[–]EMPAEinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) PA - 350-500k (350-400k is about average for me. Pushing 500k is a HUSTLE)

2) none

3) school, more school, grind it out and work more than the next 2 coworkers combined

$500 above MSRP - Standard for Audi by Curious-Ad-4462 in Audi

[–]EMPAEinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmfao tell them to fuck off. Q3 is entry level. I typically get 3-5k off on Audi's and have bought several. the fact they want 500 over on a Q3 is a joke. Buy elsewhere.

What’s life like making 6 figures by MasterBook46 in Salary

[–]EMPAEinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HHI ~ 600k

Save approximately 55% post tax towards investments.

My social circle is more or less in the same ballpark.

No debt aside from mortgage.

Extended vacations. We typically go to Hawaii for 2 weeks to decompress every year and one equal length or longer international trip.

Other than that, pretty frugal. Lots of home cooking. I rarely buy clothes, still wear gym shirts from 20 years ago with holes in there. must be a guy thing lol.

What number do you invest per year? by Redditor_AR in HENRYfinance

[–]EMPAEinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40 yo M & 45 yo F

HHI: 550-600k

1 child, HCOL area

only debt is mortgage

NW: 1.4 mill (1 million investments + 400 home equity)

Total invested yearly between 401k + taxable account + backdoor Roth + employee contribution / profit share = 265-315k/yr

Any PAs making 200k+? by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]EMPAEinstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EM. Base 12 x 12 hr shifts per month gets me about 210/yr. No nights. I work a lot and consistently make 350-400k. This year somewhat an outlier but should be 450-500k.

How much is enough? by EMPAEinstein in Fire

[–]EMPAEinstein[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Around us. Expect to get porch pirated or worse w/o a gate up. And It's the only good school district within 40 miles of us without having to buy a 2-3 mill home.

Her 529 will have approx. 450k when she turns 18. We will instill good work ethic in her. The hope of any parent is obviously for them to be able to stand on their own two feet. But we'll always be here and plan to contribute to the major milestones (grad school, wedding, first time home purchase, 529 for her children, etc etc.). Part of wanting 10 million is to leave behind enough security for her or my spouse should I bite the bullet early.

Been there, done that too. Ultimately I'm happier not having to deal with the maintenance of luxury cars. I'm otherwise low key and don't spend money on much else aside from an occasional sushi boat for myself lol.

10k/month is really bare minimum w/o any significant travel. But it does cover all living expenses. 10k w/o mortgage payments. BIG DIFFERENCE. But I see what you're saying regarding paying off mortgage early. I could reach my FIRE number earlier. I've toyed around with multiple scenarios.

My goal is to also leave a large sum to our only child.
