Thats AC base pay for non surgical. Clinical allowance is 5-11k depending on specialty. 3-4 months of bonus on the base

Not bad. Starting around 250k/year, (12x16 +5k allowance x12)

Any ideas of side hustles for doctors that are not medical related?

Yea its quite fair. 4 months is for better performers and 2 or so for average so there is some variation. For surg and interventional stuff slightly higher due to larger clinical allowance. So around 250-300ish for AC

For me, my best non medical investment is in Sg property. We have gained more than S$2 mil in our property ventures so far, better than my medical job's savings.

Also the US stock market has been on a bull run. NVIDIA, Meta, SMC all have helped me make some money as a side hustle. Sometimes, can gain in a few min what I make in my day job as a Dr.

I have also heard of MOs earning $4000+? That’s lower than what a HO can make after allowance, was wondering if MOPEXes can clarify. Wanna get rough numbers for financial planning. Thankss

Ask your MO lol.

Clinical allowance ranges from 5-11k at AC level. There’s a pretty big jump in compensation from reg to AC.
