So the hospital my residency program is associated with has already started recruiting and some residents already signed a contract as early as in the beginning of their 2nd year. They give sign-on bonus upfront as well as monthly stipends and they also pay half of your student loans with a salary guarantee for the first 2 years, etc. We have kids and we really liked the area, which is one of the reasons I ranked the program #1 to match. The sign-on bonus and monthly stipends are also enticing at this point....
If you know for sure you are staying in the area, is it too early to sign a contract? Also, what kind of things in general should I watch out before I sign a contract?
