Questions to ask the employer

  • Is $218,129 base salary only, or expected total compensation including bonus and productivity?
  • The posted pay sits below what 10 Obstetrics & Gynecology physicians report (region median $410,000) — what closes that gap: productivity upside, bonus, equity, or schedule?
  • Is the $218,129 signing bonus subject to repayment or clawback, and over what commitment period?
  • At 0.6 FTE, how do compensation, benefits, and call scale — and is moving to 1.0 FTE an option later?
  • How many weeks of PTO and CME time are included, and is unused time paid out?
