Aiyah, why U even bother to reply to such trolls.
I'm just sharing some real aspects of my life.
I happy jiu hao. I'm a simple man with simple needs. 5 dollar hokkien mee I happy le.
I dun see the point of some guys sharing their ( ? Fake) 600k aesthetic practice or 500k work 2 days a week or 400k banker job.
Real or not aside, they are not painting the real or typical picture.
I am the 500k a year work 2 days a week regularly plus ad hoc work on other days GP.
Is real. Not trolling. You are right is not typical.
Point is if want typical work then don't expect atypical income.
Frankly 500k isn't much when compared to those specialist surgeons in private.

You can’t compare with surgeons. Their input (investment) in terms of time and effort is greater. They were still slogging as residents in the OT while you are already out there locuming and enjoying time. So it’s fair that they earn more money than you at a later stage of life

Peds very easy to get into for IMG in USA, that’s my goal to do peds there and return to SG as AC eventually
You need to quit your work to study for USMLE?
Huh...and you are giving career advice here on the internet.
Sure.
Sure.
You pro.

Yea I applied to peds after fy2 but I cannot get in. So might as well quit my work than work as non-training clinical fellow. Also because I miss my family back home. Haven’t been back since graduation.

So now I am just chilling in Singapore with lots of free time. Exams are in 6 months (next year June)

Fy3 is clinical fellow? I thought more like a medical officer. Fellow reserved for doctors who are already trained and exited but did not get a consultant post.

So basically a leech on your well to do parents la?
Apply 1 time give up.
No need work to make a living or even attempt to pay your parents back
Then now dreaming that usa paeds easy to get in.

And suggesting that the risk adverse FM guy can do better and follow your style to try for paed in the US?
Ey..the entire post reek of cow dung la.

aiyah, I intern in auzzie i also think i can do A&E. 8 shift in 14 days. Consultant get 6 clinical shift and 2 other shift is teaching / admin. Their rooster planner also very nice, always group the nights and evening together give u one block in a month. End up u only have to shift your sleep cycle twice a month.

Come back SG , zzz, work in A&E i die. They plan the rooster by the week. One week work about 5 days. Shift can night jump to morning to night within 1 week. I was like WTF??
One month in i'm a bit zombified. SG A&E also got IM resident rotating through. Aiyoh, some of the most anal piece of sheets i ever meet. Plus somehow SG A&E super busy, i end shift still full of adrenaline cannot sleep.
Dun think i can do this for life.

ahah, i not pro like some of the pple on this forum , go aesthetics earn 400k or 600k or what not. I might be more suitable as the "before model" than the "after sample" in terms of looks. It's like a BMI 35 doing obesity medicine. Who will believe me? Choose FM. No competition then. No CV, no LOR nothing get in. No one wants back then.

Now regular 8-4:30.
See simple stuff. Anything more complex, i tell patient paiseh ah, i polyclinic doctor nia, i also not sure but i make sure i find the expert to treat you, refer and then move on. Not my problem liao. Hehe, sometimes i know but aiyah, why bother.. just a GP nia. I'm fine if patient nor colleagues have no respect for me. I get to do the easy stuff and get paid relatively well. Act blur , live easier.
if time MC and leave well, sometimes i get 5 days off during long weekends for my own mini-holiday. No go clinic , they close queue, no stress.

slowly farm lo. 300K a year. I reckon in another 10 years can part time or ask for no pay leave for half a year when my dividend income rise to 150K annually. Then slowly chill and locum away.

Seriously bro just quit and leave for aesthetics

I’m just a young doc (32) and newbie in aesthetics at Kelly Oriental (<2 yr exp.) and I am already making 280k a yr just 20k lesser than you
