I wasn't, I was making two separate points. PP was comparing starting wage of a junior doctor to starting wage of an AHP/nurse and saying it was less (factually incorrect). They also said a junior doctor needs far more years training than an AHP/nurse (again, incorrect if we're talking purely about FY1s and starting wage, which the Pret advert was). Once a doctor gets to the stage of 10 years training + further exams, they will easily be outearning 95% of nurses/AHPs.

I see. Sorry, I shouldn't post when stupidly tired.

Junior doctors, minimum £20 ph for basic hours, overtime at £30. After 5 years of study, and more in front of them, they certainly deserve to earn much more than baristas.

this advert is for a junior doctor grade, the uk equivalent for full time SHO is about 35k for the equivalent of a 37.5 hour week, and about 48k for a 48 hour week including night shift and weekends.
this advert is for 37.5 hour week 65k.
