Hi everyone. Will be finishing pain fellowship this June and need some quick job advice. Won't bore you with the details, it boils down to one thing I'm a bit clueless on. One has a higher base but bonus starts at higher RVU, specifically 8,892 (weird number, I know. don't know where it comes from). The other, lower base by about $25,000, but bonus starts at 7,000 RVU. Currently negotiating per RVU payment on both, but they'll probably end up pretty similar.
Here's what gets me. MGMA data says 6,484 is average RVU (2013 data). So based on the that the second job, bonus starting at 7,000, sounds like the way to go. But several people at the first job tell me they're at 12,000 plus RVU while working 8 to 4 for four days per week. Does that sound realistic? If 6,484 is the average I have trouble seeing that being true but two of them are somewhat friends and I'm hoping they wouldn't be straight up lying to me.
Thanks in advance, I appreciate any help you guys might be able to offer.
