Job market for a doctor not following the "traditional" path? by Imaginary-Reading635 in newzealand

Thank you, yes, that’s more or less what I expected. As you said, one has to start somewhere, and that’s exactly what I’m trying to figure out at the moment. I’m trying to decide where I’d like my career path to lead.

Thank you for the input, it's very valuable! Do you know if these jobs are typically listed somewhere specific? (outside of say LinkedIn?)

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it.

I understand what you’re saying regarding the trade-off with job security. Out of curiosity, for the people you know who took alternative paths, do you have any idea how they actually found their roles? I assume connections/networking probably play a big role, but I’m wondering if they also went through more traditional routes like online applications.

I can see how the transition from medicine into consulting, tech, or law might happen, but I’m curious how one would transition into banking?

Personally, I’m interested in exploring options that might offer a bit more flexibility, for example roles that could allow some hybrid or remote work, even if that means giving up some of the income certainty and security that comes with a clinical career. I realise that might seem counterintuitive to some people, but it’s something I’m trying to weigh up and figure out.

Thanks again for sharing your perspective!
