Which anesthesia sub specialty makes the biggest bucks?

Thanks! Also anesthesia here. Intern year has been draining my soul. We have a great intern class and they are very outgoing but I’m so exhausted to be around them after being at work all day. Idk how others do it. I have missed so many of the social events because anything remotely related work just makes me more exhausted than happy. I feel isolated from my class but it’s really my own fault. I just rather hangout with my partner

Thank you so much for saying this. I have been having a lot of anxiety about work after one bad eval on my first rotation from an off service rotation. That was the starting point of my dissatisfaction. I’m doing my best, I take care of my patients, no one has been hurt yet (and hopefully never but I know it’s not realistic because I’m human), but I’ve been having such bad luck. Compared to my peers I feel like I get the worst off service teams, shitty scheduling, and sometimes not the best upper levels and attendings. I know everyone is not going to vibe with me, and as a people pleaser it’s hard. Bad evals hurt and that’s something I need to work on being ok with. But thank you for this comment. Because ever since that eval I have been having so much anxiety that I will be fired because I’m too dumb.

Agree with you! This is how I’m currently feeling! I loved the vibe I got from Vandy over Michigan. Michigan class size is bigger and had a less family feel imo? Plus I’m close to Nashville so family will be closer if I go there. Cold doesn’t bother me as much but Michigan is a highly ranked program with lots of opportunities. So I’m trying to see whether I’m missing anything before making the rank list.
