EDIT: This thread was split out of another thread at the request of a user to specifically discuss this topic. The data itself is in the private forum. I'm not sure if it's meant to be public. If you would like access, please PM me.
Thanks for reminding me of that. That's one of the pieces of data I didn't have in the private forum. I asked for it there, and one of our users sent me a copy of Terry Wall's presentation for 2019. Thanks for that.

2019 ARRO Private Practice Entry Survey
“How would you have changed your job evaluation process?” (handwritten questions)
• “Picked a different speciality or avoided medicine altogether. It was a brutal process because the job market is so absymal. People say to network early—I tried that and nothing came of it. It comes down to luck, otherwise your good job options are out in the middle of nowhere. These are high paying jobs with nice people, but you sacrifice a lot giving up location.”

“How would you have changed your job evaluation process?” (handwritten questions)
• “Not entered rad onc.”
• “I would have asked for more assistance from my chairman and program director, who did essentially no outreach on my behalf. I had wrongly assumed they would be interested in helping me find a job, but that just was not true.”
• “had minimal support from the training program (very passive)”
• “put less faith in my home institution.”
• “the job market is terrible.”
