Regular poster but want to keep anonymity.
Title says it all. I started my first job out of fellowship 4-5 months ago and knew I was being slightly underpaid but the market at the time forced my hand. Aside from money and a couple other minor things I am happy there. Hospital employed, base is 300k with $60/RVU above 5000 RVUs. It’s been slow building a patient panel and will probably be at least another year, maybe more, before I get to 5000 RVUs.
Office manager at another hospital employed job reached out because I had sent a CV there several months prior and supposedly they hired someone who backed out last minute. Currently there is one pain doc who plans to go part time in a few months and exit sometime in the not distant future. Will plan to investigate further. Offer is 375k base until 6500 RVU then get 40k bonus then $58/RVU after 7000 RVUs. I might try to negotiate more $/RVU.
Is there a way to use the second offer as leverage for the first? Has anyone tried and succeeded or failed at this? It could potentially backfire epically. I’d like to stay at the first one because I’m just getting used to it and generally like the staff and patient population. Second job is outside non-compete and actually closer to home by 10-15 minutes.
