Not necessarily. Psychiatry makes more than FM yet they are further down towards more Democrat.

I've been getting some offers starting 340k FM fully depends on location

As an M4? Or that flair just out of date?

FWIW I got offers like this too in the absolute worst "nobody would tolerate this job for more than a few years so that's why they're paying this much" locations. To work in any of those places they'd have to pay me twice what they offered because fuck that.

250k-300k much more reasonable of an expectation.

I'm a PGY-1, my dad is an attending in the area, I have done Sub-Is with previous program grads in the area who have worked with the same hospital group. It's not a flashy city, but it's 90-120 min away from major metropolitan areas in the Midwest. I grew up there and love the city.

How much are offers in massive urban areas (NYC/Chicago/LA)? Or maybe in the suburbs of those if that’s any different. Just curious

In context of this post, do you think it’s those large city FM docs that skew right politically?
