Isn't he now working as a gp? What a waste of money and Cambridge degree. I would have expected him to be gunning for a specialty.

Not true. He could be appealing well to expats or running the biz well and making a very large amount of money

Final year med student here. Currently at a highly ranked London Uni and keen to return to Singapore after graduation but was wondering if it is even possible to get into residency without connections. Is hardwork, a good CV and being well-liked enough or will it still be impossible

Need connections. But you can develop those connections when you come back. Please do come back. We need more young drs like you.

Reading comments like these, makes me feel lucky that I was rejected by YLL 10 years old.

Did Law instead, and went on to work at Big 4 for 3 years before going in-house. Currently making around 250k/pa as a PQE 5 in-house counsel.

lol at my med friends who are still slogging it out at residency/ stagnant at GP land

U do realise GPs make the same amount as u and have 0 risk of being laid off. Succesful ones make a lot more than u do as well. Ur friends will be making just as much as u in 1-2 years and those who make it to private will be making 2-3 times more than u easily. The fact that u are reading this forum worried about how much doctors make is funny. Yes Law is great too but the lawyers who are doing much better than u are slogging it out in international firms too for the bigger pot of gold
