It depends on the speciality. Internal medicine and almost anything related to pediatrics tends to pay less than other fields. Surgical fields tend to pay much more.
My wife is a pediatric emergency medicine physician and I get paid more than her because I'm in tech. Also, I started my career and began earning an income right after college, whereas she went to medical school and a fellowship before she could begin earning income.
I always joke with her that, in terms of income efficiency, my field is way more profitable than hers. And a lot less stressful too.
