Well it really depends on what you want professionally!
If you're ready to enter a really long training program (Almost 6–9 years of training + minimum 1 year to enter training), have the GMC breathe on your shoulder all the time, be on your toes with regards to continuous professional development activities, want research to be a big part of your training, then in all honesty, PLAB is the way.
But if you're more clinically oriented, want to get done with your training fast (2/3 years of training + 1–2 years for exam preps), don't like unnecessary restrictions, then NEETPG should be your only aim.
In all honesty, you do not make a lot of money in the UK. This country is heavily taxed, has extremely high cost of living , and the working hours are really tiresome. Theoretically, you would be working on an average 48hrs a week. But add documentation, constant pressure of being watched, and the high expectations of patients, these 48hrs are almost as tiresome as 80–100 hr work schedule in India.
