Honest question to my fellow physicians : how many hours a week do you work?

Genuinely curious. If you could post your SPECIALTY and how many HOURS a week you work? Feel free to include your salary if you’re comfortable. I feel like it’s generally taboo to talk about these things so just asking from a well intentioned curiosity and support for transparency. I realize many physicians are overworked and underpaid.

I’ll start. Anesthesiologist. I work maybe 35-40 hours during the weekdays and I’ll occasionally cover some optional weekends. I don’t do overnight call. So I work 35-40 hours mandatory and it’s probably closer to 50/55 hours including the optional weekends I pick up. I make around $500k base and closer to $650k with weekends.

I personally feel like 55 hours isn’t bad. I realize that not having overnight call makes it easier for me. The decision to not do overnight call is probably the biggest contributor to my happiness with my job. I feel like I have a really good work life balance even though I work on average around 50-55 hours a week.
