I make around 220-230k/year now as a employed GP, working largely office hours. (This is not starting salary, worked for almost 8-9 years with a private group)
Probably the lowest of the lowest in the medical salary hierarchy at my age (early 40s), but I can still feed myself. Parents have unfortunately passed on, and I am single, so I am not into building any legacy wealth. All my wealth probably goes back to the state when I die, as I am only child (no siblings)

I am still paying my condo (2bedder) mortgage. Currently living in the HDB which I inherited after both parents passed on. I doubt I can ever reach landed property, also hard for me to upgrade my condo without paying absd. (As realistically I need to sell both my HDB and condo before upgrading)

I did think if I should take the leap of faith and set up a clinic during COVID times, (will probably involve me depleting most of my existing savings or selling my condo to raise funds), but eventually decided against the risk. So on may I continue with 230k salary/year, which to be honest is sufficient for a single.

Purpose of my post- not everyone can reach a million dollar/year salary as everyone has different ability, luck/opportunities etc.... Important not to feel disheartened if you can't achieve this. Unfortunately the medical fraternity has many alpha/competitive and smart people, (also contributed by their educational background as most are from elite schools), and it's very easy to feel burnt out and stress/have inferiority complex as a result.
Finally someone who talks like a human being.

Instead of that mummy1234 personna who is so quietly toxic and keep flooding us with her/his/it's post
Always humble bragging about her freehold etc.

The only reason I got banned is because my childhood friend Tan Li San who is Deputy Secretary in the Min of Comm had a hand in it. Now CEO of NCSS, she pretends to support mental health but despises own friend with mental health problems. Hypocritical and yayapapaya.

If u r a Dr, a freehold landed should be within yr reach, I am surprised a Dr will find my talking about landed humblebragging. In the other forum where there are commoners I understand but in a Dr forum?

Somemore all of you keep boasting about your pay, if all your pay so high should be able to afford a freehold landed when I with the lowly pay can right?

We aren’t jealous of the freehold landed we are annoyed that when people ask for advice u tell them this instead of assisting

Ask for advice about what?

This is life advice I am giving from my own experience.

It’s the imperial student who’s interested in plastics here. I’m back to ask a question. What advice would you give me for when I return to sg to maximise my chance of getting into residency as fast as feasible?

MOPEX posting wise what should I select first? Get some gen surg expeirence first then pick plastics?
what can I do to help my colleagues and make their lives easier?
What are programme directors looking for?
