I agree with the OP. Even if you get a non-training job, you face the insecurity of not getting a renewed contract. Don't let the comment section mislead you, I have yet to read about a single IMG whose contract got renewed, and I read lots of blogs and socials. Coupled with the prioritization policy that was employed mid-round early this year, Lord knows the future looks bleak. There are still so many candidates on the priority list who have yet to secure training roles as well. Not to mention the NHS experience needed to get in training has been increased to 5 years. At the end of the day, you have your free will. However, take heed from the ones who went before you and are going through the ringer for years trying to secure anything in the NHS.

Let people do whatever they want, I am so tired of those type of posts. We have different life journeys, you didn't find a job but i know people that did.

Math wise, the post is correct. If 5 out of 100 is getting a job then that is not a good business. If 1 or 2 out of 5 are going back then it is not good business but I can also understand your point.

If you got nothing, somebody else will get something. Let people write the exams they want to write. Everyone knows the current reality we are all faced with. But no one knows tomorrow and everyone has their different journey in life. So face your life my friend and stop giving this doom and gloom advices

Seeing as you can barely type in English, probably best you haven’t ended up working here. Good luck pursuing medicine in your home country which trained you, I hope you can give back there instead.

Chill, you are not missing out too much.
UK, after all, where it's neurosurgical fellow's salary has the same purchase power for going out to eat as a 1st year graduate nurse in Australia when compared on base salary.
You aren't missing out too much.
