I have stage IV cancer so i know a bit about the subject. I think CTCA are the spawn of the devil and should be avoided. Here are a few of their practices:

* Use misleading outcome data that is based on the fact that their patient pool is not comparable to other world class cancer centers
* Engage in patient steering. They will accept relatively healthy patients with an ok prognosis, but will tend to turn away the ones that are really sick. All this helps them inflate their numbers and select the more profitable patients
* Promote straight up quackery alongside evidence based medicine to pad their profits. This creates false hope and causes further financial toxicity for patients. It also helps to legitimize quackery.

I think they are just another group preying on an extremely vulnerable population. Stick with NCI designated comprehensive cancer centers and stay away from these profit mongers. Almost all hospitals are not for profit. There is a reason for this. Read up on them before joining.

Thanks so much, BCG1. Never heard of them until now and I'd love to work for an organization that actually is on a mission to help others. This doesn't seem like it's it from what you're saying. I pray you have health and happiness and conquer what you're going through right now. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers!

In addition to it being a poor hospital, it’s not an ideal location (as somebody who grew up 15 minutes away) if you’re an urban dweller. I’m personally not much of a suburbanite so clearly take that with a grain of salt.

No raises, crappy boss who constantly put him down, not to mention the locale itself is crap. Lived in Lake County most my life and I never would work there.

Should a DevOps Cloud Engineer with 2 years experience earning around 10 LPA (base salary) in a Fortune 200, switch to a startup which pays almost 20 LPA base salary?
The reason to ask this question is, wouldn't it be difficult at the time of second switch, to move to another big organisation after one is already at 20-24 LPA with just 3-4 years of experience at a startup?
All thoughts are welcome.

Why is it recommended you give a company 2 weeks notice when you are leaving but at the same time, when they are laying you off/firing you, they typically do it on the spot. I have known countless people layed off/fired on the spot over the years (especially after busy season) and everyone else when they leave give 2 week notice. Why should we relinquish power to corporations? Corporations really don't care about us. They pretend they do.
