- Is the $100,000 signing bonus subject to repayment or clawback, and over what commitment period?
- How is the $50,000 loan repayment structured — forgiven over time, contingent on service years, or paid up front?
- What is the call schedule, and is call compensated separately or built into the base?
- How many weeks of PTO and CME time are included, and is unused time paid out?
