Optimizing Your Employment Contract to Reach Financial Goals with Dr. Jim Dahle

For most physicians, signing an employment contract is the first major step toward reaching their financial goals. The dramatic increase from a trainee's compensation to that of an attending opens up new doors, allowing physicians to truly start paying off debt and investing.

Further optimizing an employment contract for higher compensation and career longevity from the start will provide the stable income needed to reach financial goals quickly and prevent burnout.

• Dr. Dahle's background and The White Coat Investor's mission

• The importance of knowing fair compensation based on specialty and location
• How working as a W2 employee compares to being a 1099 independent contractor
• Optimizing a contract for burnout prevention and career longevity
• The shift of physicians from private practice to employed settings
