LinkedIn is purposely ruining their job search anyway. They're replacing the decent filter based search (with some of the better filtering options I've seen on job boards) with some fuzzy "AI" search feature. Garbage.

Damn really? Years ago I saw a post of someone asking for advice. They had been offered two positions on in SF at ~$500,000 another in Minnesota at $300,000. Granted they were an anesthesiologist, but a few years back I met a doctor in a bar (lol) and they were telling me you can clear half a million as a GP if you're willing to work in rural states with a big shortage.

ER docs, of whom I know many in my town, with a median city household income of $79K, median home price of $529K, are all in a range of $300-500K. Anesthesiology, $600K+.

> Anesthesiology, $600K+. Good $DEITY. To me that one number explains the entire state of the USA's health system. An anaesthesiologist is a life and death job, but it isn't a complex one compared to say an air traffic controller. In a competitive market, the amount paid to both wouldn't be too much different.

There must be one mother of a guild protecting anaesthesiologists supply in the USA. Where I live, the governments (ie the people who are supposed to represent the other 99.999% of people who aren't anaesthesiologists) ruthlessly crush such behaviour in any profession that lets it become a real problem. We've fired most airline pilots and imported them, live without electricity for a while, imported doctors from anywhere and everywhere until the medical admission boards got the hint.

The USA really needs to get itself a decent democracy, where the pollies actually represent the people who elected them.
