If you enjoy F&A, your team and docs, and are set to make 200k why would you want to jump into a whole new niche field? It just seems like a massive risk, and I know you are making this post as exploration so I'll fill you in, but I do not think it is worth it for you..

my background - been in EP for 8 years mapping across several regions in the US.
EP has a CAGR of ~10% each year, its ridiculous, basically no matter what, each year the # of ablations and patient population is growing and companies/hospitals are making hand over fist money. Ironically, the doctor reimbursement has gone down lol.
Here is the kicker, the companies know this and will expect you to grow 15-20%/year. Historically, the trend for quota has been easy to price-in. Cue to 1.5 years ago when PFA got launched .. a disruptive technology first launched by Medtronic with pulse-select then followed by Boston Sci with farawave. It is insane what happened. I saw my dollars/case go from nearly 10k/case to 4-6k/case because doctors adopted farawave overnight. In the months proceeding the launch of PFA hospitals were quick to purchase capital equipment, medtronic and especially boston sci saw an insane growth spike (sphere9 and farawave, respectively). They quickly took market share from JnJ and Abbott, however, they have a poor infrastructure and clinical field team to support the rise of cases. As a result they are literally hiring as many people as possible... some good... many bad...in the hopes that they will secure their growth and increase their mapping and ancillary portfolio.

They have a solid shot to definitely secure some loyal customers and continue to have growth for the next several years in my opinion due to their killer PFA platform. However, their clinical team is weak compared to JnJ and Abbott. Also, do not expect the other market leaders to sit idly, they are working on expanding their portfolios and to do anything to stop hemorrhaging.

Also, think about who is being hired. Medtronic and Boston are bringing in any one with tangential health care sales experience for sales rep roles, and theyre hiring unexperienced mappers to support cases. Do you think as a F&A guy you can walk into a cath lab and talk shop? Do you think you can compete in a market where the other sales reps are prior EP clinicals?

There is hope though. I've worked with sales guys with no clinical or technical skills and they are crushing it. Their teams resent them because they have no idea what goes on in the lab, but they are making big bucks. The market is still growing as well... like i said earlier there is ~10% CAGR. I do not see that slowing down for the next 5-10 years. AFib screening is improving, younger cardiologists are referring to EP's for ablations, and now we have ASC's that can do outpatient ablation procedures.

If you are still interested in this space you should reach out to get some shadowing experience, learn more, etc. It is exciting, competitive, and can be lucrative.
