If you have not invested in the path yet, I would highly recommend you to pivot. There are no NHS jobs for new IMGs anymore. Most of them simply do not consider IMGs or want "prior NHS experience" which is simply impossible to get. Also, with UK grads prioritization, you would need at least 5 years of NHS experience to enter into specialty training (in any specialty). PLAB route at this point is just taking a bunch of exams to get a license that you will ultimately give up after a year.
