2nd year derm resident here, starting to think about where and in what setting I would like to practice. I've talked with a few practices about jobs and their offers but really don't have a lot of things to compare the different offers to. There was a nice thread a while back about finding a private practice job and I've read all of the threads I could find about contracts and compensation, but still wondering about a few things.
I know compensation is a moving target, with salaries, incentive bonuses, benefits, etc all playing a role. It seems that salary plus something like 40-45% bonus after a certain production threshold ($500k? 700k?) has been mentioned as a good target in the past. I'm curious what kind of production bonuses are considered standard? I do realize it also depends on salary guarantee probably, which some of these jobs have. I guess I would love to hear any 3rd year residents' or attendings' experiences and thoughts about what is fair compensation.
