I’m worried the flood of locums (around 30++ from my batch alone) will have unintended downstream consequences for the job market and ultimately might be more prudent to stay on. A lot of students are also planning to break bond once they finish HO (from what I have heard). Thanks
Leave, chiong in private, retire early (?45-50) possible if no kids

vs

Stay, be miserable in public healthcare system (although stable) and see the same toxic people for the rest of your life

You choose your poison

Patho in general always in demand because there are always people leaving residency for many reasons.

But as someone said before, exams are hard if you dont mind studying can try to apply for any sub branches of pathology.
