What are you deciding?
All decisions →One question, one brief: the answer, what is at stake, and the options that follow.
- What would a change in how I work cost?What a change costs, how long savings last, and the safest path to test.
- Compare an employment offer.Pay, hours, benefits and contract terms in one answer.
- Am I making a mistake with my student loans?The plan you qualify for, what it costs, and whether PSLF counts.
- Compare two locations.What the salary is worth after state tax, and what the move costs in contract terms.
- Is this insurance agent looking out for me?The definitions that decide whether a disability policy pays.
What you can expect
- Safety. Risks, one-time costs and irreversible decisions are named before you act.
- Agency. Options with their trade-offs — not a prescription for the life you should want.
- Trust. No referral fees, no ads, no accounts. Your numbers never leave your browser; page counts are aggregate and cookieless.
- Execution. A plan with phases and month windows, not an article that stops at encouragement.
- Continuity. Your answers stay in this browser and carry across tools.
The questions physicians keep asking
All answers →The short answer first, the arithmetic behind it on the page.
- Do I need a lawyer to review my contract?Only when the stakes justify it — cliff clawback, tail you pay, or a covenant beyond your state's cap.
- Signing bonus repayment termsA clawback is standard; a full cliff is not. Ask for monthly proration and a without-cause waiver.
- Is PSLF worth it at my balance?At a high balance and modest attending income, usually yes — but the answer is arithmetic.
- Is disability insurance worth it for my specialty?The definition matters more than the premium. True own-occupation is the term to look for.
