I have created a new user name to remain anonymous. I would love to hear some input on the initial offer of employment that I received yesterday. This offer is as a clinical gastroenterologist at a small hospital (part of larger system) in the Northeast.
The details are:
-400,000 base salary guaranteed for 5 years
-potential for 78,000 bonus based on 1,500 wRVU above 6500 (capped at a total of 8000 wRVU so no more than 78,000 can be made)
-25,000 sign on bonus
-4 weeks vacation
-1 week CME/travel with 1,500 to spend
-40 clinical hours
My first thoughts are that the base salary and guaranteed 5 year period are quite fair. I think the threshold to start receiving bonus at 6500 wRVU is fair as I understand the national average for GI to be 7500 wRVU. I am interested in possibly removing the cap on the bonus so that If I were to pass 8000 wRVU that additional bonus money could be made. I would also consider asking for 50,000 at time of signing to pay off some of my student loans (have 150,000).
I am interested to hear any thoughts/questions from the great people on this forum.
Thanks,
"Mike"
