Alright, maybe you can give me some insight on the pay? I didn't go through the whole thread, so my data is partially taken from some googling. According to what I've read, you'd earn 4k-7k during internship/waiting for residency/resident years and 10-12k+ after specialization. Is that about right?
Is family medicine considered a true speciality and financially compensated similarly?

In Austria, the pay in the early years is good but there's relatively little progression in pay (within hospitals). Could be better off in Singapore as a specialist/family physician.
A specialist with 5 years of post-specialization experience will only take home ~ 50% more than a 1st year intern. Compensation for family doctors is roughly 10% less than for specialists.
