Decision FAQ — launch wave (questions only)

Answers and FAQ schema land next. Cap 20 for the first two long-forms (10+10).

  1. Q1. I have a hospital-employed W2 offer and a PE-backed anesthesia group offer with a higher base and a two-year clawback. How do I compare them without treating the base as the whole job?
  2. Q2. What is actually inside the first-year number — guaranteed hours, call, night differential, stipend, quality bonus, "partnership later" — and which pieces can vanish in year two?
  3. Q3. The PE group says there is no partnership. The hospital says employed, no buy-in. For an anesthesiologist right now, is "no partnership" a problem or just the job?
  4. Q4. The sign-on is the reason this offer "wins." The clawback is two years. How do I decide whether that cash is a bridge or a leash?
  5. Q5. Start date is months after boards. Does the clawback clock start at signing, credentialing, or first case — and who covers the unpaid gap?
  6. Q6. Claims-made versus occurrence: who pays tail if I leave at month 16, and is that enough to pick the other offer?
  7. Q7. How do I read a noncompete when I do not own the OR and the hospital system owns half the metro?
  8. Q8. One offer is 1099 "for the first year, then we will see." Is that flexibility, or a benefits-and-tax problem I will redo at tax time?
  9. Q9. How many nights, weekends, and holidays are real, and how do I turn that into a rate I can compare across offers?
  10. Q10. The group is short. "Full-time" is more sites and more late rooms than the brochure. How do I lock sites, shift count, and turn-over expectations in writing?
  11. Q11. CRNA / CAA supervision and staffing ratios are in the contract. What is a deal-breaker versus a daily irritation?
  12. Q12. Which of these employers is a qualifying PSLF employer, and how do I verify it instead of believing the recruiter?
  13. Q13. LTD, life, 401(k)/403(b) match, tail, licenses, DEA, CME, boards bonus. Which benefits change the winner if the bases are close?
  14. Q14. The recruiter wants an answer this week. What is the shortest list I will not sign without?
  15. Q15. A still-independent group says "partnership track." What questions prove that is real in anesthesia in this decade?
  16. Q16. If this group sells in year two, what happens to my rate, tail, and covenant — and can any of that be in the contract now?
  17. Q17. The group will not show me ownership or PE fund papers. What is the shortest grown-up diligence list before I take their higher base?
  18. Q18. The recruiter says this base is "market." How do I reality-check that for anesthesia in this metro without treating a spreadsheet as truth?
  19. Q19. What do I send a contract-review attorney, and what do I decide myself so I do not outsource the someone-like-me call?
  20. Q20. What would make me walk away from the highest-paying offer in this set?
