Ie mid year and end of year bonus in this thread context.

Different companies may have different definitions. But for this company cvb consist of mid year and end of year.

Variable coz sometimes mid year is 0.6mth can be 0.5mth, can be nothing but rare.

End of year can be 1mth, 1.1 or 1.2, or 0.9

Hi all, currently a fy1 in uk, planning to return to sg as mo end of year. Probably will choose medical related postings or ed for my 1st posting (long term plan im/fm)
Just wondering out of the 3 clusters (nuh, singhealth, nhg), which of them is more welcoming to newbies like myself (i.e more patience/tolerant of mistakes/less judgmental as i find my feet in a new environment?). I do live in the west, but will be happy to travel if needed

Any advice welcome.

I would not mind that. Currently I feel the career path in singapore is not sustainable in the long run.

Hi all.

I am a radiology resident in France from an university which is not in the Second Schedule of the MRA.
Is it possible to work in Singapore as a radiologist after my residency, if I have FRCR ?

Thx for your replies !
