I'm graduating this summer from CA fellowship, supervisors from my program are less than helpful about market rates for contracts in non-academic settings so I'm hoping others can provide some guidance on an offer I've received.
Large (>1 million) mid-western city, Free standing psych hospital (adult and child) as part of a larger healthcare system
I thought this seemed great compared to offers I heard during preliminary phone interviews in many different regions of the country but I recognize the knowledge gap I have with regard to what contracts people are ultimately negotiating/signing. Any general thoughts on an offer like this? What am I missing?
