Ok kilvinsky, so just to recap you're gonna make an unsubstantiated blanket statement like "there are no good jobs in Cali" and then when you are presented with specific concrete examples to the contrary by multiple anesthesiologist actually practicing in SoCal you're response is "I still don't think so but I'm too lazy to post my reasons" . . . WEAK dude. If your skill and attitutde on this board are at all reflective of your skill and attitude in the OR then I think it's pretty easy to see why you're having a hard time finding a good job in SoCal.[/QUOTE
Man, I am really getting sick of being called names for pointing out something that is as plain as day, then getting called weak when I don't feel like arguing about things that are self evident. The only concrete example posted of someone finding a decent job in Cali is you, and frankly, your unit value ain't nothing to brag about. And btw, ASMG gets hundreds of applications for a handful of spots every year. Frankly, most of these guys will get their resume ****canned on the first go around, and the lucky few that make it in will end up at hospitals in less desirable areas. Two of the "premier" OC groups that just merged also closed down their partnerships tracks, and the Newport and Mission groups only hire people they know from a limited number of programs. The U of CA pays their CRNA's more than junior attendings. You might be able to scratch 300 after being there 20 years and fighting over call like a hungry dog, but then you can forget about having time to surf during the weekday. For the record, there may be a few good jobs in Calii, but schmoes like the OP don't have a shot in the world at them. Rather, the OP will end up making 30 bucks a unit, taking care of Medi-medi patients in poorer areas.
