If u no charisma like me..better stay in polyclinic dutifully earn the 250k a year salary.

Locum is no future.
Good to chiong short period make lots of money
Or if u desire flexibility.
Or u really cannot make it medically and don't want to harm pple.
Once I made enuff and have a nest of money..I will turn locum also.

Good attitude to have!
But we dont get younger. So it is good to have a focus in life too.
I guess it depends on your goals in life too.

Mmed AC 250k/year? My seniors who passed mmed tell me that their pay is 8.6k, with 1.25k allowance for the mmed. Sign on bonus 50k over 3 years (but this is one off)
Where got 250k. (Even taking into account bonus, which I guess is 4-5 mth all in, inclusive of aws)

And you say once mmed salary don't jump, surely there is annual increments in public sector for inflation? Even lowly mo's get around 3-4% increment yearly leh.

I see that more and more people doing fellowship nowadays (they even have to reject some applicants). Can I ask is there still a place/role for a mmed farmer/quiet quitter in ops in the long term? (I e just do bare minimum from 8-5 and Siam all the arrows)

Somehow I feel that ops is like a small pond with many big fishes and ambitious people..

Me lo.
Aiyah. There are only so many head and deputy head or clinic director positions and each appointment is 5 years.
Go up hq director position even lesser.
10 years ago no one want to do m.med and ops was hardiship posting. Pple come to get experience before go private. Now it's life style posting got 4 pple apply for 1 position, albeit a lot is applying as reserve.
it's the largest residency cohort, cant be everyone rise and not everyone want to rise. And of cse got cannot make it pple like me, tick all requirement to rise but exams cannot pass and decide to call it a day.

If they don't allow u to farm..then how? If only high flyer stay on, all ops will get getting are the lazy rp, fp manning the show downstairs.

To that guy that quote some salary...go ask Ur senior somemore la.
The salary not as simple as 8.6 plus 1.25. many things make up ur annual.

Also..u siibei jialat. Can u understand the word jump or not. It means a large increase. JUMP.
The largest jump u will see is resident turn m.med fp. After that got annual increament and rank increment only. There's only 3 rank after fp. Ac is gauranted unless u screw up. C u have to fight and pass fellowship. SC is when u are someone godson/daughter.
Each rank give u 800 to 1k more. Increament u can't be zai and year after year get exceptional one.
Meet is 3.x percent, exceed is 4.x, and exceptional is 5-6.x with some small variability peg to inflation.
If u high flyer u will average 5.x percent increment over course of a career while normal chaps 3.x to 4.x. farmer like me 3.x few years liao.
Hence u have no jump in salary after Ur m.med. if u work damn hard Ur salary rise slope can be steep but there is no more jump. U might get a bump when u up rank, but that is 12k annually only. Like 5 percent of your annual.
Get it ?

Why cannot 250k?
I got exceed and exceptional for a few years so early salary rise quite decently.
Infact I exceed 250k for a few years because I got a multipler to my service component. If u dunno what I'm talking about..then u not at that level to know...
Now is just meet so no extra

Sigh . Life is as such.
