I make about 310K USD per year which after taxes and healthcare expenses puts me at about 215k USD per year take home pay. I work about 195 shifts per year (shifts are 9 hours long).

I traveled to Singapore a few years ago and absolutely loved it and would love to live there and practice (if they had a similar hospitalist position). Does anyone know if anything like this exists in Singapore?

I see a lot of numbers thrown around on this thread where consulting physicians can expect around 15-20k per month in SGD. Are these numbers pre-tax or after tax? What would the annual take home amount look like?
