[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread needs to go on. The practice of not discussing and revealing salary information only benefits corporations and hospitals. This needs to serve as a guide for all job seekers, young and old.

Saw these on Glassdoor - this is the first time I see DC area salary lower than national average.

National Avg     DC area
Physicians        $175,929          $161,775
Surgeons         $273,922          $221,039

Dentists:         $132,125          $123,940
Orthodontists   $243,120[/quote]
These seem low. The surgeons I know in this area all started out at well over 300k[/quote]

I believe these salaries are self reported. For surgeons, 5 physicians reported so it is the average of 5 surgeons, most likely right out of fellowship. I just can't see DH or any of his colleagues going on a website like glassdoor to self report their salary.[/quote]

Doctors absolutely make less in this area than more rural areas. The job market here is saturated.  My husband is constantly complaining that he would make so much more money if we lived elsewhere. He was offered positions paying double his current salary. He has a friend in Alaska making $900k.[/quote]
