Hi everyone,
I've read through the prior posts on this forum discussing private equity, but was hoping to hear some experiences of ophthalmologists (any specialty) who have graduated residency/fellowship and joined a private equity owned group (not people who were partners and got bought out, etc). One of the key markets I'm considering moving to after training (personal reasons) has a huge PE footprint, so would love to hear experiences in joining PE groups. From my understanding - starting salary can be higher than PP (although not always), ceiling is lower, less financial risk (no buy-in), no partnership opportunity obviously although some allow for purchase of shares (are these worth anything?).
Basically, I understand moving to this market would be to take a "home team discount", but I was hoping to get a sense on whether that discount may be more than I am willing to take. Thanks in advance.
