Business Outlook
Pros
Access to the best researchers, the best library, and the best resources in the country. If you're a go-getter, there are myriad opportunities for you here, to launch your career.
Cons
Most long-term research positions at MGH (similar to many research hospitals) are soft money. That is, there is no job guarantee- you need to fund your own salary through grants. This lifestyle is not for everyone. However, most postdoc fellowships are funded by the PI, and after doing a post-doc here, many other (hard money) positions elsewhere will be within reach.
