Hello,
So I am only 6 months in my residency, and things are decent, although I don't think anyone really likes residency.
I have been offered a position in another country which not only significantly more income, but better conditions. I did an internship there a couple of years ago so I know the doctors, the facility, the town etc, very familiar territory. Felt very well there.
The only catch is that I will need to take at least 6 months off to up the language skills and so leave my current residency. However, I will seriously feel like a quitter, which is not something I have an easy time accepting. Will kind of feel like I would be that doctor that "couldn't take it".
Makes me a quitter? Accept offer and take half a year off or keep going where I am? Both are 5 years. In my 30s.
Merci
