Firstly pay in public rise, slowly but surely.
It has other fringe benefits like nearly 30 days of leave
No nights or evening
Sponsored training
Colleagues
Professional identity and esteem.
Education and mentorship if u keen
Paternity /paternity benefits


It's a supply and demand outside.
Barrier of entry is super low.
Aesthetic is not the magical place to work.
It's tough work and super competitive becuase anyone can do a coc
Buy a laser , attend a weekend demo and start offering liao.
U go see turnover of aesthetic clinic
New one pop up every 1 to 2 years while other died after a while.
5k can buy a second hand machine
30k got swanky clinic for u to take over.

Outside GP rumeration also just spike up this 1 to 2 years.
Is it sustainable for chains to offer such good rates no one knows.
Afte a while, all this hot startup like DA with dry out venture funds start to close shop
I dunno what will happen to all this young bond breakers.
Maybe a doomsday scenario
Maybe not.

In the meantime the public service doctor sheltered from all this.

In investing u decide u want buy steady blue chips and Huat like warren buffet way of slow and steady
Or u want go crypto way. Jump into the hot fav with hot money..and then hope u cash out before it all come crashing down
So compared to your peers in private/aesthetics (I am sure you have friends outside in gp land), do you earn more than them now after spending so long in public sector, with all the relevant qualifications? (I.e is your net worth similar to them?)
