Not a new grad by a long shot…Is 270K base plus a 30K guaranteed biannual bonus desirable compensation for a 30hrs/wk ER psych gig? Offered by an academic group and set in a county facility. High COL west coast metropolis, but gig is in a neighboring low COL, less populous county…less desirable for living (35 min drive).
A few mind yous:
The health insurance is basically useless. This means an added out-of-pocket cost (at least $1200/month).
They haven’t disclosed compensation formulas (verbally denying any volume based incentives or requirements). I’m sure the ER is busy enough… and possibly covered by 1 psychiatrist at a time plus np plus resident(s) per shift. Shifts are 8-9 or 12 hours. No call. No CL.
Contract has a no compete (not enforceable, really), a “We have to approve outside work,” and some nefarious verbiage like, “Duties are to be such as may be determined by Employer from time to time during the term of this agreement."
I’ve asked to be provided a detailed, written job description, of course.
PSLF out of the way in a year (shouldn’t compensation increase after forgiveness - since they currently qualify as nonprofit employers)?
If this is low-ish, anyone care to share negotiation strategies when dealing w/ academic groups?
