Congrats to her. It's quite a feeling to finally be done - one I'll never forget

It's good that she isn't graduating when I did and the effects of recession were in full effect. It's not good that the past 5 years have seen outrageous increases in class sizes = more competition.

There are plenty of jobs out there for someone who is willing to be flexible in location. I don't think this is at all unique to vet med - she's going to have more difficulty and probably less bargaining power if she is trying to limit herself to one area that is, I assume, already very saturated with vets. Most towns with vet schools have lots of vets for various reasons.

The AVMA website and VIN (she'll be familiar with these) both have classified job listings. Also - there are some facebook groups that are exclusively for vets and sometimes job info is shared in them. The biggest one I know of is for vets only, no students allowed - she'd have to wait for that.

There are headhunter services though I'm not sure if they do general practice vets or not?

She willing to work ER for her first job? A bit stressful at first b/c you get your feet put right to the fire but there's always openings out there for ER vets. It's good money and a great way to get tons of experience really quickly due to the fact that you're seeing nothing but sick cases.

I can't remember how much my disability is but it is offered through the job - I think this is pretty typical.

I have never had an attorney review my contracts but they've always been straightforward and within my business understanding. She needs to read up/research what are typical payout schemes in terms of base, production, etc... Needs to know typical percentages for production.

And not just general production - what meds go toward her production total? Rx Food sales? What about refills on meds when she's not in the hospital but it's a long standing patient of hers for which she's the original prescriber and doctor overseeing things? Sometimes that goes to whichever vet is working that day which is bogus, IMO. If I'm responsible for all the decisions on a long term case any meds need to be credited to me.

How are client calls, labwork results, etc. handled on her day off? It's BS if she has to deal with that crap on her days off but it def happens, A LOT. What about the on call schedule if that's offered? Need to know every single detail about on call schedule b/c that can ruin your life if you have to answer the phone every time Mrs. Jones wants to describe Bella's feces in detail and is having a freak out b/c the dog took 3 naps today instead of 2. If she does have to answer calls or even go in to meet a client after hours what sort of bonus is offered for those?

Starting salary will vary with location like every job - I honestly couldn't give a great estimate on that for general practice vets

I hope at least some of this helps
