I felt really bummed, I tried changing industry (still requiring the same type of deg, just different field), but can't find any suitable job, most are contracts, or either that increment and bonus also not fantastic. I can't switch to other hospital as well cos there's no pay increment.
My colleague started off at JG 10 and he reached JG 13 at his 13th year, another colleague got promoted from JG 11 to JG 12, took her 7 years.. Not sure is it just my department, but promotion is extremely slow. Unless you are a high flyer, you probably have to wait at least 5 to 10 years before you are promoted. Some may never get to be promoted cos they don't need so many JG 14, 15 in the section, unless your senior leave.

Yes, am thankful for my progression. Seems like AHP is really tough in terms of progression. I know of a friend who left for private after a 3yr stint.
One good thing about healthcare package is that bonus is big, usually 3mth (variable+performance bonus)+ 13mth/AWS. But higher base is always better in my view.
I think no increment between healthcare is a bit of a myth. My own experience was that I received slight increment moving between healthcare institutions. But it's very slight, about 5% or so. Wishing you all the best in your career.
