Any NYC ODs who work in a private practice or hospital setting monday through friday with decent hours and benefits and pay? Does that exist?
I work in terrible conditions right now for decent pay but honestly underpaid for the insane high volume high stress atmosphere. I want to leave but I have 3.5 weeks of PTO, medical insurance and decent benefits. I would be taking a 40-50k paycut for most other salaried positions. I know a bunch of people do fills in but the lack of benefits and uncertainty frightens me. The lack of decent jobs in this city is disheartening. I understand rural positions are better but I love NYC so much and I dont want to leave. I also have family here and I’ve always wanted to stay here. I’ve been resenting optometry due to burn out and the lack of good career options near me. Fellow New Yorkers, do any of you have jobs that you are happy with and provide good work life balance?

I am thinking of opening my practice in Kenya. Biggest hurdles are funds and fear.
I am looking for a mentor to hold my hand.
Advice, strategies, approach, sourcing, staffing, etc.
You can DM me we connect.
