GP land -> hired GP -> gp clinic owner -> chain owner - > minster of manpower
polyclinic - > FP-> SRP -> principal PRP. if mmed -> FP, AC FP, C FP, SC FP
hospital -> RP, SRP -> PRP or AC -> C -> SC- > EC

Mo 4-6K, SR 7-8K, AC 12-14K before allowance. Once you become a hospital / polyclinic staff ( RP, AC etc) your increment is 3-5% per year.

really strawberry generation. lamenting at the choice of career guidance. seriously?! find doctoring regretful due to lack of renumeration? While u can't buy GCB as a doctor anymore, any doctoring job should leave u quite comfortable anywhere.
this post is right.

you will never be happy with your pay if u compare with your friends.
there is this thing called hedonic treadmill
my jc classmate is a vp at a bank. earn 1.5x that of me (con).

but i understand her difficulties. bank job less secure, performance dependent.
on the other med is more stable.
if i toe the line, support boss initiative, be safe, dont act clever, then job security is there.

be safe some times mean referring when necessary, for someone more qualified in that field to treat the patient or give an opinion.
