Feels like every path abroad is getting worse… what’s the smartest move now?
25 y/o MBBS grad here and I feel like we’re all just blindly chasing the same few countries without thinking long ter
everywhere I look it’s USMLE / PLAB / AMC, but when you actually dig deeper, each of these paths seems to have serious downsides now
US → insane competition + visa uncertainty
UK → NHS burnout + not great pay
Canada → extremely limited seats
Australia → getting more competitive
Germany → language barrier + long pathway
and on top of that, the whole global situation feels kinda unstable rn… makes me wonder if we’re overestimating the “abroad = better life” idea
I’m genuinely trying to think 10–20 years ahead: where is it actually safe and stable to settle as a doctor?
or does it make more sense to just stay in India, crack NEET PG/INI, and build a career here instead?
would you still choose the same path if you were starting today?
looking for honest opinions, not the usual “US is best bro” type answers
