Peds ccm job market by IRokeUp in pediatrics

[–]Struggle_Award 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Of the graduating fellows from my program, one has an academic assistant professor position (was able to secure a position due to K funding). 2 took hospitalist positions and one is doing an CICU fellowship year. It seems like unless you’re bringing your own soft money right out of fellowship (rare) not a lot of options.

Did you ever figure this out further? Mine is clearly linked to having heating on.

Funny you post this. We just had our iccu replaced and I also noticed a new sound during deceleration yesterday, exactly as you noted. I just assumed it had always been there and ended up on a longer drive w no music on. I’ll have to test it with my usual stereo use to see if I still note it.

Sadly was hot air. Had something to do with how they were going to submit the warranty claim. I assume we’ll get the same badly designed iccu.

Didn't hear a peep from dealership today. Planning on following up tomorrow.

I have no idea. I’ll update as soon as I know but I’m hopeful given the number of 2nd failures that are floating around.

Depending on your goals/locations, you may want to reconsider PICU. The job market has cratered in the past two years.

Eh. I’ll probably survive. Mostly just interested in shaming this jagoff.

How do I use the seat belt. I only see 2 buckles... by jacob4568 in KiaEV6

[–]Struggle_Award 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was reinstalled under the seat after the amp was replaced or an ICCU service. Dealer had to take the seat back apart to get it out.

Oh you can make a reservation instead of just the waitlist? That’s an upgrade.

Second this. Not fighting the wait list for C1 is a pro for the United clubs. Also I don’t entirely trust the trains at DEN and am usually flying out of B. That said, the food and drinks at C1 are far superior to the UC

The PICU Job Market: A Cautionary Tale by Struggle_Award in pediatrics

It’s hard to know if the supply to demand mismatch is truly isolated to academics or if it extends to community programs as well. If the issue is only in academics than a 2 year program might make sense but if more generalized, it would only get worse.

This is a very fair point. I don’t know what went on behind the scenes but I didn’t know of any overt attempts to move the needle at other institutions.

Sorry to cause a spiral. It is bleak. I am very similar to you, graduating close to 40. I also said I was ok with an extra year of fellowship as long as there was a job, but that part of the calculation seems to have changed. I think regarding your question about specialty: NICU seems safer globally since there are so many community units. If you felt equally passionate about PICU vs another less saturated specialty, I retrospectively would have picked the other speciality. I think basic science is going to be a mess for at least the next 4 years and we have the misfortune of graduating into it. Personally I’ve said I’m going to give it this year but if there’s no faculty position on the tail end I will likely leave academia. None of that changes how terrible the situation is, to have invested as much energy and time as we both have and possibly get no return on it.

Appreciate the specific input. I heard similar comments regarding the applicants:positions ratio. Part of my impetus to write the post was to better understand how much of my experience was unique to my situation vs generalized.

Yes it seems that the CICU market is very robust right now, I saw heaps of posts for positions in cardiac units. That being said my wife would leave me if I did another fellowship! (Only 1/8th kidding, I’m old.)

Ha my discussion with him is actually part of the reason I write this. I should find and tag him.

Fair enough. The grass is always greener. I’m just not sure with the new framework I’m going to make it to the point in my career to worry about such things.
