I'm not looking for a new job, but I was interested to see who was hiring around here. I found one inpatient job that specifically wanted a psychiatrist with at least 2 years of experience. How common is this? Do you think you were ready to work right out of residency? My first thought was this was in a sought after metropolitan area, but the job is in a town of about 150,000 an hour away from the big city.

Far too vague in details and location to give specifics to your inquiry. I could generalize but it wouldn't be helpful. I can offer this piece, the response you're getting is usually due to an over-saturation in a small vicinity to where you are looking and may need to broaden your horizons.

You aren't gonna be board certified.
It takes a couple of years to get comfy in your 'real doctor' skin.

There's a couple of reasons why this occurs. If your only question is how common, I don't know but it's not rare.
