So, a couple more comments on the sick/disability/vacation thing.
What's the waiting period before the disability kicks in? (And if you are permanently disabled, will it last until retirement age? Is there a maximum lifetime amount you can collect?)
(Frex, my company has a combination of short term/long term disability. The short term kicks in after 30 days and lasts for 6 months, where the long term disability kicks in, and can last until retirement. (The idea being that you use your sick leave (or vacation) to bridge the first 30 days.)
Do the sick and vacation time accrue? Is there a maximum it will accrue to? or is it use it or lose it?
The other thing I wonder about is your malpractice insurance? Is that carried by the practice? (I have no idea what is standard in your industry.)
Probably the best way to get a feel of how the benefits compare with others in your industry (and of the type of firm you want to work for) is to line up some more interviews and ask a lot of questions about the benefits.
Though in the end, I've never decided to take a job or not based on the benefits, as long as they were ok (and these seem to be).
