[QUOTE=Unregistered;207086]Is life of junior doctors really harder than their peers in other Industry? 
Btw I am also a junior doctor (baby mo) mopexing. Agree that everyone, including myself is jaded and shag from this never ending pandemic. 
However, when I speak to my peers (ex jc classmates, church cell group mates), it seems that other Industry are also quite bad. While they don't have to do calls (i.e work 30 hrs straight), most of them do work till late (sometimes 10-11pm plus, esp pple in law and finance)

My friends work in a variety of industries, including law, finance, education, chemical and electrical engineers, and cooking (have a couple of friends working as chef). Ironically I don't have any computer science grads (so nt sure Abt that field)

Paywise, most earn similar, if not less than my mo pay (if you include call pay and the 500 dollar mo allowance). Only exception is finance (my friends earn around 7-8k in finance). Having said that we are all quite junior (2-3 years) in our field, i.e all less than 3 years experience, so not sure how we will progress I guess.[/QUOTE]
