I also passed the med exam recently and now making a decision regarding ops vs private. I understand from this thread that our major pay rise comes from completing mmed (i.e now) and subsequent completion of fcfp or promotion to AC does not bring about significant pay rise.

Given that our current mmed fp annual pay is already lacking behind that of private gps by 10-20 %, how long do we need to catch up with them? (Coz most private gps also have pay revision every 1-2 years, just like ops, for things like inflation/performance etc)
1. Precovid GP salary below that of m.med FP in ops. Salary start to rise halfway into pandemic becuase all the clinic Huat from being pphc. Flush with money, the chains start to expand and hire aggressively so can pay more money

2. Now seeing a regression to mean liao. The 225k salary is rare. Mostly is 14 to 15k for similar hours.

3. Private no increment. Unless it's v big chains like raffles. If u are v profitable, they will just profit share with you. Profit share can fluctuate, increment cannot cut else pple leave.
I own clinics u think I want to reward u profit sharing or salary increment?

4. As an anchor in private , it's not a bed of roses. You have to hit revenue.
Patient don't like u and dun return after a while, u will be shown the door.
Ops , well, unless u rack up complaints or see so slowly that one one can help you, u always have a job
