Hello,
My friend will be done with his psr-24 in june. He got a job offer that is as follows:
Salary: 48K/yr
cell phone, retirement, health, malpractice, apma dues: 7K/yr
Total: 55K/yr + 40% of anything me makes over 180K for the practice. He will have a chance to be partner in a couple of yrs depending on how things work out. He only has to work 4 days/week...more if he likes. This is pretty much the standard for this area. Is this an okay deal or should he move to another state? Every dpms he talks to in the state pretty much give him similar packages (a lot of them are not even hiring). Thanks
