I also understand that smaller gps tend to pay more than large chain groups.

I am currently fm resident looking to leave after residency as I am fed up with all the admin stuff/qip etc. I am happy to work evening, weekends or even night shifts as long as I am paid well given that I am still single, young and little other commitments in life. (In fact I am looking at the possibility of locuming in Ed night shift on top of my daily gp work)
My understanding from my seniors is that ops Drs in mmed eventually earns more than private salaried gp (unless you do asthestics) but it may take some time. However I understand that the higher you go in ops, the more admin crap you have to do, and in general I feel the pt profile in private more straight forward (a lot of work permits/driving licence renewal, health screening, and now covid tests for travel lol)

Would any ops seniors kindly shed light on the pay structure and progression for mmeders in ops?
