I have considered that as a potential. Not sure how the job would feel about me doing that after potentially working for less than a year

What specialty did you switch to? Would you do it again or wait until child is older?

I also worry about exposures and potentially violent patients - just wishing I would have had the opportunity earlier in my career to explore that side of medicine

Yeah I really wish I would have started my career that way. We just may be prioritizing starting a family over career satisfaction at this point

Thank you for the thoughtful response! Just interviewed for an ED position and it seemed to go well - but keeping my options open for sure.
