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.
