re: Would you rather: Make more $ with 6 weeks paid vacation or?

I've seen what the night shift looks like for doctors, and I've heard about how fricked your sleep schedule is when you do night shift consistently. I'd take the normal day job. Yea you would have more time off with the night job, but you would have to stay on the same sleep schedule unless you wanted to really screw up your body, so you wouldn't have much time with your family (since they'd be on a normal schedule, and you'd be sleeping when they're awake and vice versa). IMO I would forget about the night shift, there's a reason they have to pay so much for so little work. They have to pay extra and get new doctors and shitty doctors to work those shifts

And the 17 weeks aren't paid vacation. That's just time he's not working. He's a doctor working shift work.

ill keep my current salary and vacation. I currently have 50 personal days and accru 16hrs per month. Can roll over yearly also.... so ill pass on your two options.

245 vs 215

No brainer the 17 weeks off.

Monthly Take home pay with 215k is roughly $10,308

Monthly Take home pay with 245k is roughly $11,554

At those amounts, the extra 11 weeks off is by far worth the $1,200 a month haircut

Bruh, if you are only making 215 as an ED physician working nights you need to relocate

---

Bruh, he is working only 35 weeks of the year

To be fair, he's not putting 2k/month into a 401k unless he's over 50, so he's probably taking home another $350 ish per month more as a result. Doesn't change the decision though.

I put 10%. However, like you said, it doesnt change anything.

Well I could do locums for 6 weeks at another job and make 30k upon investigating tonight stuck in a case.

This is best case for money issue because I still have 11 weeks off at same pay.

I'm not an ED physician...I'm a nurse anesthetist.

Oh well then disregard

Seriously though take the 215 then try and land some shifts at an outpatient surgery center.
