This was my salary as a Foundation Year 2 Doctor. This follows 6 years of university and 1 year as a doctor. Annual salary of about £26,500 (pre-tax), definitely not £43,000, or even the quoted £37,000 for FY1s. Oh and today my student loan sits at £90,247.

I feel like I should clarify. I *love* my job. I enjoy operating, I enjoy meeting a wide range of people and helping them, I enjoy teaching and I enjoy (to an extent) admin. I’m not asking that to change, I’d just like my salary to reflect what I thought I was signing up for.

Lol.

God I miss that skin
