Yes yes… with the hours a HOMO works converted to Locum pay, your monthly pay can definitely more than AC / C base pay. Don’t worry we’ve all been in that state of disillusionment.

For AC/C, they don’t only get base pay but all the other bonuses depending on their department contribution and so on. So it can actually go up to pretty high.
Ie your pay is not proportionate to your hours put in - you get paid for your expertise and knowledge and contribution

For Locum, you essentially trade your time for money
No career progression. Do the same thing forever.
No career stability. No CPF contribution.

So don’t just look at the cash. Look at the big picture.
Jiayou.
er.... got bonus meh. its all gov directed ma. i think a locum need to transit to run own clinic. then can already.
