Good luck making that decision, Whopper. I think you'll do well no matter what you decide.
As for me, I know I made the right decision getting out. I just finished my first week at New Job, which is being an inpatient attending at the program where I trained. I am really rusty. I don't really have a ton of teaching experience and that's going to be an adjustment. And yeah, I felt like a deer in the headlights a few times this week. But even so, in my first week of an overwhelming new job, I had fun and looked forward to going back every day. I can't remember the last time I felt that and I have to think that feeling it in the first week has to be a good sign.
So yeah, there are just different types of people who do well in different types of environments. And the cool thing is that we're lucky enough to be in a field where the demand is great enough that if you do one thing for a little while and end up not liking it, it's really not too hard to find something else to try.
