Congratulations on the training job! I have a lot of respect for those going into general practice these days. It’s certainly not getting any easier to earn a living for GPs. My GP rotation as a final year was when I gave up sugar in my tea. It was around Christmas time and every cuppa came with a mince pie! Lovely practice and I still remember it well.
 
I started a new job in November, my first after graduating.

I'm an account manager in a consultancy firm, specialising in compliance with data privacy laws.

Things like Privacy Notices, cookie consent tools, data subject requests, data mapping, amongst other things.


Pros

- Excellent networking opportunities
- Very quick learning, going from knowing little/nothing about data privacy to having clients of my own and leading implementation projects for companies across the globe
- Interesting topic :-)
- The people I work with


Cons

- Hard work, very tiring - never a day without deadlines
- Some of the work can be a little repetitive at times, which is normally okay but being stuck indoors every day...
- Unrelated to the job specifically, but living in a house share about 4 hours away from my partner of (nearly) 6 years - can make things tough at times :)



Overall, I'm very happy with the job, and see lots of potential.

My job is pretty cool, takes me around the world, even during the pandemic. Brexit means I’m not currently in Barcelona and Covid has pushed back my trip to Saudi next month.

GP specialty trainee

Cons:
The service demand has grown to an unmanageable level
Can't please everyone
More isolated than hospital based medicine
The workload is intense - welcome, introduction, history taking, examination, formulate differential diagnoses, plan investigations, explain to patient, arrange follow up/referrals and check ideas, concerns and expectations all within 15 minutes

Surely the largest 'con' is having to deal with the general public. Fair play to you if you can take it, I'd survive about 5 minutes before being fired for being rude to someone being an idiot.

The only potential role in healthcare I could ever take would be an anaesthetist in theatre, cause at least most of the time the patient is knocked out!
 
Hospital porter in the NHS, only part time but it has a been a bit tough this year with the current climate. Will be my 10th year in March and I still love it, well most of the time.
