Mastering Job Offer Negotiations After Residency: A Pro's Guide

Navigating job offers after graduating from residency can feel super overwhelming. Let's talk about how we can approach it like a pro.

First, list your priorities. What is most important to you: salary, schedule, location, or growth opportunities?

Next, don't be afraid to negotiate, whether that's salary, benefits, or protected time for things like research or wellness.

Ask them about the team and the environment. Do you feel like you connect with the people you'll be working with?

Most important, make sure you get everything in writing and review the contract closely, ideally with someone experienced.

Remember, this is more than just a paycheck. It's about setting yourself up for a career that you enjoy and that you can sustain.
