How is life as a doctor in Singapore?

so total 17k

thing is in aesthetics they dont pay bonuses usually...

so on paper you get more than your colleagues in public institutions, but in reality you get around the same because PHIs tend to give out bonuses

No these are literally entry level positions that are paying 17k. Once u gain experience and start seeing more patients, you can easily negotiate the salary higher. All the guys commenting about aesthetics have never actually worked in aesthetics before and just look at online postings. I myself have gone through the process and know how it is

even aesthetics barely making slightly above 200k

He never said he’s in aesthetics and this isn’t representative of the average

Aiyah, not everyone got the looks to do aesthetics la
I'm balding with craters on my face how I convince other I know what I'm doing ?
Like U go obesity clinic and the doctor sitting Infront of U is BMI 35...
Got a colleague whose husband left residency to do aesthetics.
I mean..tbh I look better than him... I dunno how he is gonna survive.

hahaha that’s unfortunate. I was damn dedicated to staying in shape and looking as good as possible throughout med school so it’s left me in a good position

The cardiologist are the one who smoke

Many psychiatrist got emotional damage

Ugly does not preclude u from being a good aesthetic physician

also true. There’s plenty of non attractive ones that do extremely well.

Usually if it sounds too good to be true... then it is...

How much revenue can an aesthetic clinic make to pay the doctor 35k to 45k?

Rental alone is already 15k to 20k seeing how they usually open at central locations. And the laser + products aren't cheap

Sometimes some investors don't mind doing loss-making for a few years but there will be a time they can't take it anymore and need to jack up prices or reduce overhead...

So this is likely something short term...

Agree, even liver surgeon can suffer from liver cancer

Dermatologist also can have psoriasis

Nobody is immune to anything just because he knows how to treat something.

I’ve been working in aesthetics for the last 5 years i’m sure I would know more about this than you. The clinics make huge revenue and need to keep the more experiences doctors around because they’ve established their own client base. I’m hoping to start my own clinic soon as well
