I’m not sure I follow your logic completely. Being junior sucks and sometimes you get “stuck” with something. Maybe it’s short call reserve, short call conversion, redeyes, non-commutable trips, SDQ/STI trips, etc. I’d rather focus on the final 20 years at a place as opposed to the first 3 years. BTW, stacking a 2 and a 3 day together doesn’t make a commutable 5-day and requires a hotel/crashpad.
