Changing roles or Relocating?
Is this actually a step forward?
It’s a question worth asking before making any career move particularly when changing roles or relocating.
At MMR, we often encourage doctors to pause and consider whether a role moves at least one key area forward:
• Career progression: skills, scope, seniority, or future pathways
• Lifestyle balance: workload, roster patterns, commute, recovery time
• Family stability: schooling, support networks, partner opportunities
• Long-term opportunity: where this role positions you next, not just immediately
A role doesn’t need to improve everything at once but if it doesn’t clearly move something forward, it’s worth reassessing.
Asking this question early can help doctors make more confident decisions and avoid moves that look good on paper but don’t deliver long-term.
