I need some help with potential offers from recent interviews. I have had a lot of terrible offers including awful schedules, independent contracting that does not adequately compensate for taxes, no benefits with shady dealings, etc. Below are the most promising of what is left. I am a new graduate FNP.
Pain Management/Addiction - Help expand a private business that currently has one MD who is triple boarded and looking to redefine pain management (not cash for pills). About a 30 minute commute with no traffic and a really nice facility. Includes malpractice and health insurance (not sure how much of the premium would be covered). Other benefits pending formal offer (should be soon). Great potential for learning concepts and skills related to pain management. Really great doc who is excited to teach.
Cardiology - Part of a team of faculty and fellows at a teaching institution. Extensive orientation process with the possibility of running a low risk cardiology clinic after training (based on comfort levels, areas of interest, etc.). An hour commute with no traffic or would relocate. Full benefits including full coverage of health insurance and great retirement benefits. Looking for someone long term based on depth of training. Great group of doctors and would be in clinic with the head of the department at least once a week. No formal offer and others still interviewing. Would likely have to turn down the first offer to see if this one pans out.
Pay would be about the same for both. I worry about the former because of the current stigma of pain management and the latter based on desire for long term as it is my first job in a new role. Both would be great learning opportunities and have potential for extensive networking.
