Hello anyone and everyone.
I’ve been practicing 6 years now. The first year I was in a part time Medicaid office and part time ppo. Those only lasted a year- the ppo office lasted a few months. Long story but not a good fit. The remainder of the years I worked for another Medicaid office. I tried a corporate for few months in between which was terrible and went back to the same Medicaid office. I finally left a few months ago, tried another corporate. I thought it was a great fit- small town office feel and very personal. The corporate hired me and within 2 weeks told me they were permanently closing the office. I was offered a position at another location but did not accept due to many red flags. So I started job searching again and was very stressed out because I wanted to find the right fit. I finally did, however it is not what I expected. It’s a larger company, not DSO but similar way of operating. They did not disclose that I am constantly on camera and being listened to apart from the operating rooms which have no cameras. Everything is micromanaged. I feel like I cannot be myself and I am walking on eggshells and being judged. Why can’t I find the right fit, is this the new normal?
Out of all the places I have worked at, the Medicaid office had a warm atmosphere, I had full autonomy and was treated with respect. I was working my butt off and I was very physically tired but I felt the best there mentally. I am not much of a business person, I have satisfaction from treating patients with Medicaid and I feel that often times they can be very grateful, apart from a handful that are not. I have been thinking about owning my own practice eventually.
I am already 6 years in and still job hopping. It’s taking a toll on my self esteem. I just want to be happy.
Has anyone been through this?
Any advice ?
