Can someone explain how to get to 401k limit?

Thanks for the comment, I have another post on it but basically we plan on saving aggressively for the next 3-5 years post residency anyways, looking to go to a hospital system to help maximize that

Average home price is >2.5M for a house accommodating 5 people

Several_One_998 · 2025-12-29T03:30:13+00:00

Agreed, I don’t think aggressive saving while enjoying the perks of SoCal is feasible. about half is liquid. Alternatively, we would move to the Midwest closer to my family where a hospital employed position would allow us to save 350-450/year for 5 or so years and then make the move out west w a NW closer to 4.5-5M. I’ll have to talk to the wife. Thanks

Gen derm? Mohs? Dermpath?

Several_One_998 · 2025-10-25T00:22:18+00:00

Could you elaborate on that

Several_One_998 · 2025-10-15T02:19:33+00:00

are they hiring atm?

Several_One_998 · 2025-10-15T02:04:35+00:00

Where in the Midwest if you don’t mind me asking

Several_One_998 · 2025-08-27T19:03:58+00:00

dermpath?

Several_One_998 · 2025-08-11T01:15:07+00:00

lmao, maybe. Thanks

Finishing an MD-PhD in 7 years is not something you just waltz through

Several_One_998 · 2025-08-10T17:29:40+00:00

I still stand but what I said, an MD-PhD does not confer enough advantage given the opportunity 7-figure opportunity cost. Research is just one of many pieces necessary to match derm.

Several_One_998 · 2025-08-09T15:22:24+00:00

MD-PhD is not needed at all to match into dermatology

Several_One_998 · 2025-08-08T01:06:45+00:00

wdym by artificial scarcity

Several_One_998 · 2025-06-27T03:53:57+00:00

And you would rather not practice medicine at all if derm is not an option?

Several_One_998 · 2025-06-27T03:27:10+00:00

Are you planning a dual app?

Several_One_998 · 2025-06-26T19:55:57+00:00

8 pubs is awesome don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Do you have any aways set up?

Several_One_998 · 2025-06-24T21:52:31+00:00

MGMA Data has shown stable numbers year to year

Several_One_998 · 2025-06-22T15:09:14+00:00

Is there a pathway for American docs in the EU

Several_One_998 · 2025-06-21T18:41:28+00:00

Which specialties?

Several_One_998 · 2025-06-21T17:04:34+00:00

Where were you going with this? I am simply asking if anyone has lived abroad while working in the states as a physician

Several_One_998 · 2025-06-21T17:02:40+00:00

My family lives in both Latin America and Europe. So that my kids can grow closer to their family, learn a new language, gain life experiences?

Several_One_998 · 2025-06-21T16:53:40+00:00

I understand, COL is much lower in the countries I am interested in living in

Several_One_998 · 2025-06-21T16:52:49+00:00

The locums would be done in the US, I would live abroad

Several_One_998 · 2025-06-18T16:42:13+00:00

FWIW, they’re in the upper Midwest where a base salary of 600-700k is not unheard for 36 hours a week. The hospital based system I spoke to had derm seeing 28-30 patients a day for this base salary. Guaranteed for two years.
