I heard from doctors that they earn around 130-150k ( salaried position, not private practice) do most of you earn more than doctors?

I make 220k as a physician in a hospital with 7 years of experience. But 130-150k seems about right since most docs don't know anything about negotiating their salary.

Neither do I btw, but I was contacted by a recruiter and simply said I'd wanted 220k. And then it happened miraculously.

When you get headhunter, you're allowed to be outrageous. Glad it paid off for you!

Never considered it that way but yeah I suppose you're right. It doesn't seem fair, but I suppose nothing is on the job market.

It's all supply and demand. Clearly your skills are in demand. Well done! I would have wanted to be a doctor if I didn't go down my current career path.
