Hey all-
Attending physician several years out, fellowship trained in Pediatrics. Work at Children's Hospital in Academic setting. Great location, but...
Have possible opportunity for job in "home" area for wife and I. This group has lock on entire "home" area too. Would have to take care of adults as well. ACT model. Partnership track.
Wife really pushing for it. Currently make good $ at job that is mostly satisfying and not too hard, good benefits and good vacation time. We have ACT model but also do own cases fairly regularly. Downside, (IMO) is academic setting and all the promotion pressure.
"Home" job would be essentially starting fresh, (70:30 adults to pedi )adults, som pedi (sick pedi as well) but partnership track with low starting $ (>100K less), equal vacation time, much busier practice (private) possibly less lazy peeps, but happy wife. Family all around to see kids.
My concerns are the obvious $ difference (we both have huge student loan debt), the fear of the PP selling to an AMC whilst trying to make partner at a lower wage, the challenge of working with adults again after quite a few years, more responsibilty with less time to do it, CRNA;s to keep happy.
It's obvioulsy a personal choice and some variables are deal breakers to some folks and not others but has anyone been in the situation of leaving a damn good job for thier partner's happiness?
