It's an anonymous forum, I really couldn't care less to brag to strangers...
Just trying to obtain more informal information on the side before I reach out to the HR departments in hospitals who may have other interests.

I grew up in SG and left after O'levels, so I am familiar with the industrious nature of Singaporeans. However, I have never experienced the working life in SG.
Speaking with my parents and friends, it seems like the work culture emphasizes more on seniority rather than actual accomplishments. But they could be wrong.
Do most outpatient physicians work 5.5 days a week?

Same issues.
If you really need to move maybe write to the hospital department heads and ask if they want you.

Mostly for personal reasons like family/domestic support (especially with raising kids), safety, good schools, phenomenal food scene, excellent public transport and walkability etc. We are not big spenders nor aiming to become the next Jeff Bezos, so finances are secondary as long as its comparable relative to the COL.
May I ask why you insinuate that I am crazy for even considering a move to SG?
Politics aside, SG seems like a first world country with amenities that are often lacking in the rest of the world. But, I may be seeing SG through rose-tinted glasses, so please share the dark side of SG that I may not be considering.
I assume MMed is a prestigious degree? I am trained under a different system which doesn't offer this so I have no clue -- either board-certified or non-board-certified.

I am ABMS board certified, my medical school is recognized in the 2nd schedule. I am fairly published in my field (>30 first author publications in American and European journals), write textbook chapters in my specialty's reference books (think Harrison's), and regularly invited as a speaker/KOL at national conferences.
I am fully prepared to work as a conditional AC for a year or two before I can be fully registered if I decide to return to SG. However, I am a bit hesitant after speaking with a couple of SG docs who have left SG, as they warned me about moving to SG for the above reasons.
Thanks in advance.

I appreciate everyone has different views of success. Maybe I come from a lower social economic class than you, hence my opinion of owning 2 condo- 1 to live and 1 to rent for passive income is successful and I make no apologies for that.
Of course, I respect everyone have different standards and your standards may be landed property for e.g.
