Hello! I have worked both corporate/hospital medicine and private practice. Personally, I LOVE private practice because of the work-life balance. I left a wonderful and fun company, took at $25k pay cut so I could have balance. I was traveling frequently and missing out on time with my kids. I can’t get that time back! When my kids are older and no longer want to hang out with me, maybe I’ll consider going back… but there’s nothing like the contentment that comes with work-life balance. ☺️
Hi, totally agree with the previous comment regarding work/life balance for a huge conglomerate. Currently working in Leadership for a school/healthcare facility, the demands are plenty and the described hours in which to get it done are will rarely balance, even in an ambulatory setting. You may want to research or discuss with the hiring manager;
1. The hours of the operation (managements role often falls 1-2 hours before and after)
2. Specific roles and responsibilities (is their a team delegated to specific task, or does your role involve a small piece of other teams responsibilities)
3. What is the reporting structure (direct and indirect. Management often has cascading responsibilities)
I work at Penn medicine and happy to talk to you more about your experience If you’re still considering the role.
Penn medicine is a great place to work. You’ll meet some incredibly smart and driven people, and everyone works hard. I won’t lie the system is fast pace and sometimes the work/life balance can be blurred depending on where you work in the system. But I’ve found that people respect your boundaries when you make them clear, especially when you take time off or it’s the weekend.
