It depends a lot on your "game plan" so to speak...
If you want to pay off your loans fast and have plenty of patients right off the bat, take a good salary/benefits job with variable productivity incentives in academics or patient care with a major corporation: hospital system, medical care center, VA, contracting health provider that will set you up for NH/WC/etc assignments, etc. Buy-in/out opportunities are obviously about zero, though; you are a hired gun and ceiling is consequently limited.
If you want a comparatively low salary but probably good bonus incentives once you get productive and some serious buy-in possibilities that are within reach, work with some other DPMs in a group. This is what the vast majority of residency grads nationwide seem to do.
If have good surg residency training and want a higher salary, better cases, and maybe higher bonus or signing incentives than most DPM groups will offer (but probably trading that for a sky high buy-in... if a buy-in opportunity at all), then try an ortho group or multispec physician group.
If you want a very low initial salary - probably additional debt instead of profit - but the sky as the limit with potentially exponential income down the line, then start your own practice or buy out an existing one, build the facilities and grow the patient base, and hire staff/associates/partners as you go.
There are pros and cons to each.... Whatever you do, get a good lawyer and an accountant to negotiate and help you understand your options. Nobody can really comment intelligently on each possible DPM career avenue since nobody's been down them all. You have to pick what suits you, but it's great that we have options. If you go to Barry, you'll have a great practice management course which gives an overview of contracts, job types, billing basics, etc. At any pod school, you can also join a student chapter of AAPPM (dot org).
I hear evading the IRS isn't nearly as hard as it used to be, too.
