Also once you leave, it's a 1 way ticket, no chance back to public, especially if you break bond. So big decision also la

I locumed for 10 years before, could earn twice as much, working same hrs as in a private GP in Parkway Shenton then.
Earned about S$13k a mth working 30 plus hrs, max S$15k a mth and that was many years ago.
Could buy landed, Estima car and take yearly holidays and still have annual S$30k savings.
Life as a locum is good, free and easy, own boss.
Though now I am not a locum, working in RMG now. I also appreciate RMG's medical benefits and paid leave and annual bonus and various perks like S$80 per dr budget for a cluster dinner every 3 mths.
Taken quite a bit of hospitalisation leave as I had breast cancer stage 1c and did bil mastectomy and reconstruction. Only paid S$17 can u believe it? Thanks to my HOD Breast cancer friend in TTSH who op very fast for me under B2 ward. Really appreciate govt subsidies as I have no private shield plan. Company and medishield also helped a lot.
Having medical benefits helps a lot as I am almost 50 years old now.
Thanks to a stable job, I am buying a landed again (sold my prev one) and looking at S$1 mil gains from this one as I bought it undervalued.
Already have S$1 mil gains from our prev properties too.
Though my pay is not fantastic now as before, other perks make up for it.
Life as a Dr is good I must say.
