Hi everyone - not a neurosurgeon, but my SO is, so apologies if this is a stupid question. I've done as much research on forums as I can, but haven't found enough info anywhere.
Is there much hope of finding a (decent, non-toxic) job within the greater Boston area given all the residency programs for someone who doesn't have any ties there? My SO did his med school, residency, and fellowship (spine) in the midwest, and is now 5 years out. He's interested in PP or "privademics", but feels that he wouldn't be very competitive given all the prestigious schools/hospitals and market saturation. I would like to settle down in MA as I grew up there and have family there (he's amenable otherwise). His only real requirements are a non-toxic working environment and ideally no more than ~60 hours a week.
