I get your point and it’s not an invalid question but onc salaries others have mentioned cont to increase nicely year over year faster than many other specialties (saw recent chart at 4%/yr) top ~5 out of all specialties surveyed. Go into hem/onc if you’re interested in it. It’s going to be...

Agree! My balance as of Dec 11th 2023, $288,000, Dec 12th? 0, thanks to PSLF. This is a minor point bc that alone shouldn’t factor in to decision making either way, though it did factor into mine at least as a minor consideration (ie jobs that qualify for pslf vs ones that don’t)

Where did we settle on 250k for academic hem onc in nyc? That is basically the bare minimum starting salary. Sure use it to make a point but that is not the reality for most, especially once you have 3-5 years under your belt

i get what you’re saying but gotta LOL at the bolded part. 🤦‍♂️ FWIW I had suggested the OP continue on path to IM, and for full transparency I’m nearly 4 years into academic practice, am nowhere close to FIRE. Personally I am just happy with my academic job and know others who share the...

Gotta wholeheartedly agree with the above. I get where a lot of y’all are coming from here with Derm being a cushier lifestyle, but you already read in several of the OP’s posts that they really would prefer academic-ish hem/onc. I just don’t get all the anti IM sentiment to be honest. FWIW, my...

FWIW all this talk about compensation in academics-agree with the above. If you hustle in academics and your institution/division offers incentive RVU bonuses it almost doesn’t matter what the base is. There are people I know early in their career (ie <5 years) pulling in hefty bonuses (>100k)...

i basically agree with the piece about clinician educators. I would say from my experience academicians these days are well aware of the haircut they get on compensation but that’s just my 2cents. Lots of colleagues of mine have left academics for industry the last 2 yrs and less commonly have...

Idk maybe bc you spend 15 years in school and training and certain pursuits can only be done in an academic setting. If you invest the time money and opportunity cost in yourself and you want to be the guy/gal treating a very rare subtype of interstitial lung disease or germ cell tumors or...

I don’t think any thing significant has changed since I wrote that…

Usually get in touch with an MSL of a given company and if you meet their requirements they can connect you. You can also be referred by colleagues or other ad board members

I charge $750-1000/hr for my calls and do about 2 per week during busiest time of year (3-4 months out of the year including peri conferences) and 2-3/mo for the other 8-9 months for a total of 60-70 per year. Colleagues who are on ad boards can make several thousand per ad board they’re on. I...

Probably yes

Highly agree. Also the necessary side effect of the above is misunderstanding the disease or prognosis bc you didn’t speak to the oncologist first.

Responded to your first question didn’t realize you directly responded to my post. Without being too specific (though happy to discuss via pm) there are several institutions I know of including my own looking for inpatient sub specialty trained docs. Leukemia, lymphoma, cell therapy and bmt...
