Best thing of all.

During Mo time go aim the HO who studied overseas.
During HO period when they most vulnerable, U can probably land a hot babe few points above ur own score. Studied overseas family confirm not poor.
Best if only daughter
++ If grandparents damn old and damn rich because U get money way earlier. Leave U and hot babe wife a freehold shophouse at Mohammed sultan U can kiao kar for life already.

All this Dumbos talking about residency to do surgery or aesthetics or what AC, C or sc got it all wrong.

The best way to get rich is to marry rich.

Not the same guy here but I actually have some friends in the UK who got a training contract at a law firm with a medical degree after doing a pGDL. You’d don’t actually need a LLB or JD. Some are now very senior at international and magic circle law firms. A huge advantage of studying overseas is that for 300k more u have complete freedom with no bond. U can do residency anywhere or gp into aesthetics immediately. Even finance and law are possible. No need to come SG and struggle

that's if you willing to move abroad lor. feel like in SG after a mbbs got no other option. no other job will take you because all you meant to do is clinical stuff. but you are right, UK probably possible with a postgrad diploma since the country is a lot bigger and more opportunities.

actually nowadays even for IMGs they don't give full reg as quickly anymore. few years back people used to get it in 2-3 years. now its 4 years minimum. they are also trying to keep people at the junior level so even without a bond still have to serve in PHI. which also means everyone at that level competes for residency since cannot leave anyway.

idk where u got ur info from about the last part. Most if not all my seniors got full reg within 2-3 years. The residency situation is competitive tho but many have got into competitive residency programs but tbh i’m at a relatively highly ranked uni. Yea but with an overseas degree can choose to specialise in Aus or UK before coming back but those also hard to get in nowadays

Sounds like a joke but sad thing is it's true

I should have realized it earlier rather than trying to gun for residency. End up getting stressed but no good returns. There were a few pretty and sweet girls. But then MO going after HOs can be deemed as predatory.

All my recent seniors got full reg in 2-3 years? Ur source seems inaccurate. But IMG can train overseas then come back mah no need struggle for residency in SG
