Hey all! I am currently located in the NE working as a 1099 IC in ER making $80/hour and work between 130-150 hours per month (125K-145K per year roughly). Second shift only, see between 20-25 pt/day. I was presented with an opportunity to work in bariatric surgery. First shift, no call/weekends, 2 clinic days and first assist OR 1-2 days a week. Surgeon seems willing to teach laparoscopy and possibly da vinci xi in the future, but I won't get much autonomy, except nutrition pre-op visits and follow ups. 401k matches 5%, $2500 CME/year, accrual PTO (which seems to translate into 2-3weeks/year). Offer came in at $110k. I am only a year out of school, and was always interested in surgery throughout school, but I love the ER as well and actually like my job enough to stay on as per diem if I were to transition. Just looking for insight into salary compensation between W2 and 1099. Any thoughts on either job are also welcome! Thank you in advance.
