On call 1k * 12 = 12k

13th Month + 1 month performance = 8k * 2 = 16k

Total: 124k sgd (excluding cpf)

Bonus usually more than 2 months + the call allowances are bigger + weekend roounds etc. monthly base is around 9+k for senior reg. Around 12k pm inclusive everything and about 15 months total pay

Reg higher responsibility than rotating MO.

I rather take the lower pay and go out to private clinic ASAP or even take the risk to aesthetics if I am young

What specialties did those who get full reg in 2 years did?

Don’t do all surg rotations unlsss you aiming for residency.

I think orthopaedics and gen surg still okay but best to do all the hard medical posting. Don’t do all the relaxed polyclinic ones those won’t help as much

Total over the year will be different
as most JRs in a residency will be given the same crap bonus.
