Hey pals. 2nd year resident. I’m starting to think about interviewing and has a few questions for the hive mind. How do you go about setting up interviews? Cold calling? Is there a place to see who has openings? What sort of things are important not to forget when negotiating? What MUST you have in your contract? I’m planning on sticking to the Philly/NJ/Delaware area so if anyone has any opinions on the hospitals around there or knows of any openings I would be greatly appreciative. What is a fair starting wage in that area? I’m sure it’s less in the city and more as you go rural. I don’t have much interest working IN Philly.
I still have to speak to my seniors but wanted to see what information I could gather here. I also have heard that $2k stipend per month while on residency is pretty standard. Is that correct? I’m drowning in credit card debt so I’m willing to give up future income in order to get a nice stipend and/or signing bonus.
Any and all information is welcome. Thank you all
