In our negotiations, we’re typically laser focused on that particular job and how it aligns with our lives now, but sometimes we have to zoom out. Sometimes we have to take a 30,000 ft. view and ask ourselves - is this career consistent with the legacy we want to leave behind.
In a perfect situation, we want to look back at our careers and express pride and joy with what we accomplished, but we all know that’s not always the case in medicine. A lot of us look at this job as something we were called to do but something that’s soul-sucking.
Is there anything we can do to change that now so we’ll look back on it fondly and proudly, with no regrets?
In this episode, I talk about the power of thinking of our legacy right now and advocating for it in our jobs.
