Similar iterations of this post have circulated Before. Wondering how thing are now.
I am good friends with an MD recruiter around Boston and currently for family practice his clients are offering base of 225-250 salary, + performance based bonus, + bene’s, + matching on 401k up to IRS max, 25 K sign on, and 100K loan forgiveness for 5 yrs of work (20K /yr). And still has huge difficulty recruiting new hires. Folks visit once and often twice and get dozens of offers and more often than not he lose recruits. And this is in towns with some of the best school districts in the country. I know this person well and am certain these numbers are accurate. He deals mostly with primary care recruiting but tells me it is much more difficult to recruit a gen surg or specialized surgeon (not sure of specific numbers for this group).
Just a benchmark..not saying paths deserve more or less but wondering how the offers of current path grads compare.
Also in general struck that many sub specialities have the luxury of having difficulty filling positions whereas path has 50 applicants fighting for every job out there...
