In the thick of the job hunt right now...
Seeing bases in the high 100's, low 200s has been pretty disheartening after working this hard to get into ophtho, learning to be a microsurgeon and going through a fellowship...especially watching internal med colleagues finding jobs that almost double that working only half the year
I don't want this to be a woe is me thread...rather, I would love to hear from the senior guys on here 5 to 10 years in...when does it start getting better? It seems even after the associate period you are still working at a financial loss due to partnership buy ins, and building your rep seems tough when everyone wants to get worked on by the most experienced surgeon...how did you guys deal with these issues?
