I am about to likely sign on for a PP job on the west coast. It's Mon-Thurs 8-5 with 420k base or 40% collections month-to-month, whatever is higher year one and 450k base or 40% collections year two. After that point, there's the option for buy-in to the practice at fair market value, including buying into any ASCs or real estate if wanted. They have one ASC currently, lots of goals for future expansion. Probably 2 procedure days and 2 clinic days a week. I'm guessing 30 ish patients a day. Just from going through posts on this forum, I'd guess many will say that I'd be underpaid...although it's the west coast, so I think that's kind of expected? It's a necessary move for our family, so that factors heavily into the decision. I've looked at a lot of jobs in the area, and this is the best I've seen (struck out on finding any hospital gigs nearby), as I'm looking to angle more toward lifestyle, and the 4 day work week is huge as well. I've been in practice 5 years out of fellowship, and I've been grinding to pay down most of my debt in a higher paying job in the meantime. I don't know that I have much more room to negotiate, as I've already negotiated the % collections part from 35 to 40%, as well as more PTO and better hours etc for the LOI. I'm just curious if I'm getting a fair shake for the area and schedule. I see many posts on here with people making 700-800k, etc without killing themselves. Browsing this forum makes it seem like you're a chump for taking anything less
