In a competitive talent landscape, student loan debt relief is a modern benefit that any company can offer to incentivize the younger generation to join their team. In a recent survey conducted by Laurel Road, we found that 58% of millennials would trade an additional vacation day for student loan repayment assistance, showing how valuable meaningful benefits are to this generation.

Between September 2013 and December 2017, MD- and DO-degree holders who refinanced with Laurel Road and shared information about their previous rates saved more than $29,000 on average over the life of their loans.

On top of the financial hardship, the stress of paying off loans is hitting millennials hard. According to a survey by LendEDU and Laurel Road, three-quarters of millennials said they feel stressed on a daily basis about their debt. But there are ways to tackle your debt.

Refinancing medical school loans offers a way to consolidate the debt and may result in a lower interest rate. Laurel Road, an online lender and FDIC-insured bank headquartered in Darien, Connecticut, offers members of the American Medical Association an interest rate discount when they refinance student loan debt. “Refinancing can relieve financial burden and generate significant savings,” said Alyssa Schaefer, chief marketing officer for Laurel Road.

71% of young people would value a student loan benefit and only 4% of companies offer student loan repayment options.

Should I go with a variable or fixed interest rate? Variable interest rates means that they can increase over time if market interest rates go up. Fixed interest rates, on the other hand, stay the same throughout the life of the loan. So which one is better? "It really depends on how fast you think you're going to pay off your loans," says Alyssa Schaefer, chief marketing officer for student loan refinancer Laurel Road. "It could make sense to go to a variable rate if you think you're going to pay off the loan quickly. But for a longer-term loan, you probably do want to consider that fixed because it's a more stable rate that's locked in."
