400k?!!

[whournameiz]

Al of the job postings I've seen start 400 to 600k.. how hard are these guys working to make this much money?!! some listed 1 mill potential. I was under the impression majority of the week is spent doing office visits and not surgery. I will have my rotation soon so I guess I will find out more..

I figured I'd kick off the trite-ole 'money thread in the surgery forums' with a haiku:

These threads are useless,
You want some flames and hearsay?
Ask about money

Trolls really aren't trying any more...

Make sure you ask immediately upon arrival. Bluntness is appreciated in urology.

i think most of those salary advertisements are guaranteed 1ist year salary, after that its based on productivity. I think its mostly used a selling point. From what i hear, most average around 350-400k.

This is totally hearsay but my roommate in college told me that this urologist father made around 375k a year.

I think very realistic to expect 350K+

Isn't $350,000 the starting salary for a first year urology resident?

More like $40-$50k.

Sadly no . You gotta wait 5 years(or even 6) for that.
