New Academic Attending - Benefits to doing Locums?

[MPMD]

Slightly off topic but another housekeeping task for a married new attending is to make sure your with-holding is right.

If you are making $350k as an attending anesthesiologist with some side work you can visualize that the IRS treats every dollar your wife makes as $350,000 + 1

This was the stupidest thing I did and the most painful.
