Any upcoming grads have their job offers pulled or contracts altered due to Covid? I suspect the cosmetic market will be in the toilet for the next 6 months at least, and I’ve noticed a decrease in recruiting emails from private equity groups lately too. Curious what everyone’s experience is.
 
This hasn't happened to me personally, but know a few people who have either had offers withdrawn and/or "postponed" indefinitely due to hiring freezes. Haven't heard of anyone who actually completed the full contract process who had their offer withdrawn though. I think unfortunately it's hard for everyone (academics, multi specialty group, private practice) to hire anyone new right now given the economic uncertainty (at least in outpatient practices like dermatology that rely heavily on procedures and, sometimes, cosmetic procedures to make money).
