What a monumental event for us, because we've been building up to this new chapter for so many years - pre-med training, applying to medical school, medical school rotations, interviewing then SOAPing into residency, residency, interviewing then matching into fellowship. Now mid-fellowship year, Scott was offered two different jobs in two different parts of Washington state!
We had long talks about what was most important to us in this first job. We considered location, medical practice preferences, large organizations v. private practices, pay and benefits, potential life balance, opinions of current and former employees. We found that its difficult to look at this decision by logic alone and that everyone seemed to have opinions on what we should do. In the end, the decision came down to prayer and what felt best. Both offers were good, but after evaluating how we feel, one organization stood out to us as the better choice for us now.
So in August, after Scott's fellowship graduation, we will be moving to Kitsap County in the Seattle area for this next chapter in our life, and we're extremely excited! There are A LOT of loans to pay off before we will probably feel like we've moved on to a new chapter, but the thought of settling down in an area for awhile just feels so invigorating.
