[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It won’t be long before the privileged HFs compete with one another, and their perceived “special” status with mega bonuses, weeks of vacation, monthly trips to Disney world, ski chalet weekends, daily caviar appetizers, dedicated luxury cars, rooms, apartments, etc, disappears. In the end, you still end up with an ungrateful young adult who thinks your kids are spoiled brats.[/quote]

Shrug.

I'm the poster with the decent benefits and it has worked out well for us. J get my pick of APs (never a rejection at match) and have all have requests to extend. None of them seem ungrateful to me.

Not sure I've ever heard of the perks you describe, but the added $50 to the stipend, gas, and ample vacation time that mirrors our time off work has gone far in building goodwill. Plus they all talk on Facebook groups and when it is match time, I have APs wanting to interview before we even put ourselves out there officially.  Some families are blackballed and dont even know it. So much info is shared on those closed pages.[/quote]
