Said no to PE, HELP!

Was in negotiations with a local PE group in HCOL area that offered a competitive starting package. Ultimately decided against it, mostly due to issues with transparency and restrictions in exiting.

I am now feeling a sense of despair as the only other local options are primarily hospital employed and academic positions. I was keen on joining a private practice but the whole PE situation and uncertainty freaked me out.

Did I make the right move?
