Three Tips to Help You Decide Between Two Great Anesthesiologist Positions

Your hard work has paid off! You’ve been called to fill an anesthesiology job—times two! This is a good problem to have, but it’s still something you’ll need to address wisely. After all, the future of your healthcare career hinges on your choice. To make the very best decision for yourself and your future, consider three important factors. Here’s what you need to know.

Beyond salary, consider other aspects of the two jobs and the organizations to help you feel confident you’ve made the right choice. These include:

1. Your time is one of your most valuable assets. Choose the anesthesiology job that offers the most attractive schedule. For example, will you be required to work a 40-hour work week plus mandatory overtime? Is the commute shorter to one of the two locations? By comparing how much of your week you’ll be required to invest, one position may begin to look more attractive than the other.
2. You’re around your co-workers more than your friends and family; if they’re difficult to get along with, it can add stress to your workday. Also, the culture of an organization and your comfort level within it are important considerations. Think about the people you met at each facility during your interviews, as well as the culture within each organization—does one seem to be a better fit with your personality than the other?
3. You’re an anesthesiology professional who’s looking to expand your knowledge and skill set—and you need a job that will support your endeavors. It’s not always easy to find a new job, so it’s a good idea to think now about the potential opportunities that lie within either of your job offers. Will you have more room for promotions, learning and growth with either facility? Your decision might rely heavily on this factor.
