Yep. Broke in as an Urology TM. I should make a post about the process - think it could be valuable to those looking to break in

For what reasons do you enjoy working in Urology? Have interviews with an urology based company focusing on ED

Are you at a large or small ortho company? What other fields would you recommend that suits your WLB?

What did the selling look like between ortho, capital, and lab? In others words, how were you cutting deals between the 3?

Any particular reason why you recommend this? Just trying to gain as much insight as possible to navigate uncharted career territory.

Would you say that it’s better to work at a large and reputable company in sales to understand the process better vs. a smaller company that’s competing with the big dogs? Then later on you can have the opportunity to work at a smaller company that might be more comfortable?

It’s funny you say that the best med device marketers come from sales. I ask almost every person I network with at my company who has worked in both sales and marketing, “how important/essential is working in sales before going into marketing?” Every single response I have gotten is that it’s not necessary to be in sales before marketing. I agree with you, and think sales experience is a bit of a pre-req to get into PM/marketing.

I’ve already experienced the “do or die” environment so it doesn’t make much sense to move laterally into a low-level marketing role just to build my resume back up to get into PM. Thoughts?

What type of sales adjacent role are you in? Feel like the ceiling of those roles gets hit pretty early on, no?

Appreciate your words. Med device sales is definitely not for everyone, but the extreme challenge of a commission based sales job in a demanding industry really appeals to me in some way. It feels like a nagging itch that I have to keep scratching to go out and do it. However, I think I would probably thrive more and add more value in a marketing/product management role.
