hospitalist salaries

I've heard some pretty wide ranging numbers when it comes to the salary a hospitalist can make. A program director once told me to expect to make about $180k as a hospitalist, a chief resident once mentioned that he got a $220k offer, and a IM junior resident once told me that a friend of his got a $300k offer from a hospital in the south-east. What other numbers have people heard as far as hospitalist salaries

I dont consider it as huge amount.Once you are into the profession with 3-4 years of experience, you can even pocket $400-$500 easily.
