As an above average resident myself I'm already resigned to the fact that I have to spend years as a SSR. Why should foreign-born doctors (since most foreigners took up PRs but did not serve NS) be given a priority in consultant posts when they didn't contribute to nation building that Singaporeans did? If the resumes of a Singapore-born and foreign doctor are the same, shouldn't MOHH give the Singapore-born doctor priority for consultant posts?

Do you mind if I ask what is the average waiting time for ssr to associate consultant nowadays? And what is the pay for a SSR?
I am starting doing IM junior residency this coming July. I think medical specialty not as bad as surgery for now, but things might change in a few years. Was thinking should I just do GM given that there is the most job opportunities there?
