             2/ Most studies lean on structured data (ICD codes 📊) to capture comorbidities. We tested 10 thresholds → decent performance, but not perfect. Next: classic NLP 📝 6 bag-of-words classifiers (NB, lasso, ridge, decision tree 🌳, random forest 🌲, SVM). Results? Also not bad!

             We found striking variability: clinician-educators 👩🏫 often received larger offers than physician-scientists 🔬, and both non-clinical FTE ⏱️ and startup packages 💼 were all over the map. Our preprint is here 📄:

             During my own job search, I was struck by how wildly academic offers vary—from $0 startup 😬 to multi-million-dollar packages 💰. Inspired by online datasets (ex:  https://t.co/dyNgeECahJ),  we surveyed PCCM physicians about their offers 📊.
