Hi All,
Thanks for all your advice during the match process! I'm now a PGY1 in the Southwest Region!
I have a sizable $250K debt and 27 yrs old at the moment.
I'm wondering what do I need to accomplish during residency to land a $350K/yr job after residency in California? I'm willing to work as many hours as possible in my first few years after residency so I can pay my loan off in 1-2yrs. I see myself married upon graduation but with no kids at the time.
Surely not everyone that applies to these types of jobs get it and there must be tough competition for them. Basically, I see postings on gaswork.com in Cali with high salaries and am wondering who these practices take.
What should I do during residency to put me in a competitive position to make this kind of money in California? Kill Step3? Boards? Become a Chief Resident? Great LOR? Fellowship?
Do I need to work somewhere else for less money to build my CV before getting this dream job?
Thanks!
