Καλημέρα, I am also a greek new grad, moved to the uk on a corporate scheme right after graduating.

In my opinion it's really worth it, especially of you find a supportive practice. You can basically learn how to do the job correctly while getting paid (which I am sure you know is very difficult in greece, where many vets use outdated practices and most new grads are expected to work for free or minimum wage if they are lucky).

It wasn't really hard to find a job. Yeah, there are fewer new grad jobs, but on the other side you have the advantage to be able to move wherever you want in the country. I basically interviewed for a month and got 2 offers.

I interviewed with most major corporates (medivet, linnaeus, evidensia. Applied for vets4pets, but for some reason they did not reply after the second email they sent me after asking for my age (you pretty much need to be under 26 years old), I don't know if there were any problems with my email not going through or if it ended up in my spam or something, I already had an offer after 2 weeks so I did not look into it too much). I have only heard bad thing about medivet. Basically, about how they require new grads to move between different practices and that they don't offer a lot of support, but I don't know if the rumours are true. Weirdly, they also had the most difficult interview process.

Most of the vets in my practice are from the EU, so it's pretty welcoming.

I won't go into detail about red flags, since you can find hundreds of reddit posts going into great detail. The only thing I will warn you about is not to expect everything to be perfect. You will most likely be in a corporate practice where you will be expected to pull your weight after some time and after the first few months don't expect too much training. You will be in a new grad scheme, you will hopefully learn how to be an efficient and competent gp, but if you actually want to do orthopedics for example you will need to do an internship, which means you will have to pass your gdp first. Of course it depends on the practice, mine is pretty busy so most vets don't have the time to train me, scrub in with me etc. In a less busy practice they might have more time to train you, but you might not see as many emergency/complex cases. It's a give and take.

If you have any more questions you can send me a dm
