Welcome to SG work culture where they try to squeeze every cent out of your wage. There’s no wage rights in medicine in Singapore unless you reach a certain of seniority. Consultant level at least.

This is not the Uk where trainee doctors can just go on strike every few months and the public still support them.

2 years i can suck it up. Why train in sg when i can have 34 day of leave, make similar money and get a prestigious sounding fellowship?

you mean you are going to do fellowship after your CCT before returning as a consultant? I think SAB guidance is 3 years of consultant job after CCT. Although people have successfully returned with 2 years of experience.

gonna do fellowship then no need HMDP bond. 3 years is for full C. I’ll come as AC or work private for a few years then come as C if possible.
