As a NHS resident, how did you get over 32 days of annual leave per annum?

Learn how to invest and open up new revenue streams.. one of my batch mates quit GS residency during Covid and went all-in locum at vaccination centres.. made over 1M from 2020-2022, and pumped all into Meta. Now share price almost 5X.. he’s already happily semi retired. While his friends are still stuck in residency

It could have gone 1/5x also.
This is NOT a plan
