I’m in need of career advice. I’m a clinician working for Kaiser Permanente.

I am somewhat unhappy and feel burned out.

I got a job interview for a non clinical role at NIH.

I think this will help with burn out.

I will end up getting paid approx 17k under initially when I make the switch.

FI = work because you want to, not because you have to.
You get to choose the who, what, where, when, why, and how of your future!

I’m lean FIRE Pharmacist here- I went to a part time remote pharmacist job and part time golf course job.

Since the switch I have had zero flare ups of my autoimmune condition.

I now have time to see a dietician / chiropractor. Did my first 5 k in years.

And training for a triathlon. No regrets here!!

If you reached FI then only work jobs you want to. Why stress?!

I say you take a year to just relax, travel, do some volunteering and figure out your next steps

[Robbie]

I’m also a clinician (PA) who left clinical medicine for other opportunities. I’ve never regretted it.

Yep for sure- you also may reap some sweet government benefits that money can’t buy if you hang in there for a bit.

Sounds like it’s worth the leap if you already reached FI and want to pursue something that has a better chance of making you happy

[TJ Pridonoff]

If you reached your FI number, why jump straight into another job?

Are you a MD partner? Can you reduce your work hours to 3 days week to still meet your full early retirement?

I was also a clinician for KP in a high stress position.

The worst for me was the constant micromanagement and the changing goalposts on what the expectation was.

Anyway I left for another job that paid way less for way less stress and I wasn’t even FI then but I would do that 100/100 times
