Any of you guys close to graduation and looking for jobs? Anyone recently land a great job? Just wanted to pick your brain about the whole process and using recruiters.

PGY 4 of 5 and looking. It's been hard to give up on academics, but I'm about 95% sure that private is the way for me.
I get the mass influx of emails from recruiters, but most of these are nonspecific. Ian Thompson, PGY 4 at Vanderbilt, started a website called http://urologyjobsearch.com/. Its worth taking a look at that site.
I found a job prospect by looking online. It was in a geographic area where I would enjoy living. Have been negotiating a contract.
I have put a huge amount of faith in my contract attorney to decipher the terms and compensation.
As this has developed, more questions than answers are generated.
For example,
What is the typical overhead of a urology practice? What can I expect to bill and collect?
What is a reasonable amount of ER call to expect? Practice Call?
That is a reasonable salary guarantee? How long? How is compensation structured after the guarantee? What ancillaries and bonus pools are available?
Will I be able to practice medicine as I see fit or will there be an overwhelming amount of beaurocracy?
Some of this is a leap of faith. If the numbers look good and you seem to get along with the partners, jump in.
Let's keep this thread going!
