Otherwise to be honest a GP earns less than investment bankers. Even B4 lawyers make more than GP.

A salaried law partner in B4 with 12 years of experience can reliably make 400k a year while a GP peaks at 250k-300k a year.

There’s no way to further increase your salary as a GP unless you open chain of clinics which is not guaranteed. Millions is possible if you make equity in B4. High 6 figures possible if you move become head of legal in-house role. Simply put, the options are more palatable in Law rather than medicine assuming you end up as a GP/FP. Which sadly majority of med students (80%) end up as.

Just look at majority of posters lol.. all are disgruntled GP/FPs. This is already a warning to you to avoid med if you don’t want to be a GP/FP
