发帖数: 93 | 1 I work for a small company and will match this year. Shall I quit my job and do externship or observership full time till the end of the year? Loss of salary is like 35,000. But if I can match this year, it is still worthy it. But it is so hard to find a decent job. I am scared if I does not match and will not find a new job in this job market. Can someone give me some advice? |

发帖数: 238 | 2 It is really a personal decision. If you do need $35K for living, then don't
quit. Nobody can guarantee if you can be matched or not.
鱼和熊掌难以兼得。不过好像麦地有些牛人也都得了。
Good luck! |

发帖数: 656 | 3 where are you at this time? you are applying this year?
a few things you need to know.
you don't need to do an observership super long. as long as the observership
lands you a couple of letters, you well achieve the goal. you don't need to
push further unless you want to.
find out how much time you can get without quitting your job. use your
vacation days. if you can request leave of absence, use it. sometimes you
can get 3 months of unpaid days.
good luck! |

发帖数: 344 | 8 give up a 35K unsecured job and fight for a >200k opportunity. What will you
lose? If you have GC, you can make 35K waiting tables in a restaurant.
$35K is not a job, it is just temporary time killing activity when you are
searching for other big opportunities. If you believe you deserve better
life than $35K, then go for the Match. You need an externship/
observationship, especially when your scores are not good.
Men believe me, even if you fail, you can find a janitor job making $35k. |

发帖数: 93 | 10 35,000 for half a year. From now till the interview season is over. I know
it is not a perfect job, but it is like chicken bones. The real question I
have is how much half a year more externship will help my odds considering I
have done 3 months observership/externship already. I might get more LORs.

发帖数: 449 | 12 小兄弟，先keep your current job。然后骑驴找马。ob-externship可不能保证match
。那些只是锦上添花。实际上，PD对所谓OB-externship很清楚怎么回事，他们可以作
为据你的理由，“你没有ob-externship 没有美国临床经历，拒了” 但是他们呢，不
能作为收你的理由，“他有ob，可优秀了”这是笑话。所以，骑驴找马，至少要有个医
疗保险，要不就要有学老黑的勇气，病打发了，急诊一趟。不知道住急诊室算不算临床
经历，那可是切身体会。 |
