Non-compete & tail risk

Top strengths:

• Above-market base salary after COLA.
• Shift-based schedule with no clinic requirement.

Key concerns (prioritized):

  1. Non-compete is broader than typical (2 years / 20 miles). Request 1 year / 10 miles with explicit carve-outs for future training or academic roles.
  2. Termination rights are one-sided. Ask for mutual without-cause termination with 90-day notice.
  3. Malpractice tail is not addressed. Clarify in writing that the employer will purchase tail if coverage changes or the contract ends.

“The W-2 report caught a one-sided termination clause I had completely missed. Changing it made a huge difference in my peace of mind.”
