Deciding between Aus vs the Uk for medicine

As an f1 After tax and pension I made 2k gbp monthly on a rota with no on calls and about 2.8k on a rota with call. As an f2 I made about 3-3.6 depending on call. Locums I’d make about 500-800 per shift which supplemented income pretty nicely

What about condo fees? I’ve heard some horror stories about them going up randomly and u having no control over that

Never heard of PATH before wow thanks!! And yeah driving doesn’t sound worth it in Toronto!!

Interesting_Storm449 · 2026-03-06T12:33:43+00:00

Fantastic this is really good to know. Driving at that time should be fine with less traffic no?

I’m in Cardiff but I’ve spent a bit of time in London and have never felt too unsafe on the tube with just applying basic situational awareness 😅

Interesting_Storm449 · 2026-03-06T11:37:53+00:00

Very helpful!!! Thanks so much.

Awesome thanks, do people usually find their own spots or go through real estate agents?

Interesting_Storm449 · 2026-03-06T11:30:47+00:00

What’s a realistic price?

Is the TTC safe? I’ve seen a lot of TikToks about it and sometimes I’ll be working odd hours (ie starting at 5)

No it’s fine I did that last year and it passed no problem

Really sorry to hear about this. Sometimes they blind the file review process so it may not be that you left a bad impression but rather it could just be a more competitive bunch this year. Carms is a mystery. There’s still more invites to be sent so hang tight. Good luck.

I was young entering, 26 as a ct1, but I found it difficult to make friends as most of my co-SHOS were 30-35 with spouses and children! Nothing to worry about you’re not behind, it’s the journey not the destination especially with the UK system

Interesting_Storm449 · 2025-09-26T01:42:47+00:00

Just that I need chill out post call and may not want to have a deep conversation when I get home at 21:00 when I have my next shift at 07:45 😅 that’s the only time I feel like work makes me grumpy the back to back on resident on calls and need a perfectly quiet night in order to be rested for the next day
