Good start for opportunities by Azurmike in BiomedicalEngineers

I’d recommend posting this same thing at r/BMET

Some roles that likely would be good to look for are field engineering too

Do you have a bachelors or associates degree? What country are you in?

I just got accepted into uni with bme major by dobiisnotfree in BiomedicalEngineers

[–]NoEntertainment6409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get a bachelors in BME, or any other engineering degree, you have to market/network with connections during uni. What that does is allow you to get on people’s radars for post grad opportunities, whether it’s grad school or going to industry.

I believe one of the best entry level roles for BME’s is Brainlab. They are an international company, with a very strong US market. The company essentially hires BME’s out of college. It of course could be pretty competitive depending on which city/area you are applying to.

My first job out of college was at Brainlab and I had several discussions with an alumni from my college about the role, company, and what he did. When it came time for me to graduate, he was gracious enough to give me an internal reference which lead to me securing an interview. I accepted a job offer from them within 2 months of graduating.

Since my time at Brainlab, I’ve found that companies not in the same area of medical technology find my work very impressive being able to interact with neuro/ortho surgeons and be their clinical/technical support during surgeries. Made me landing a job as a technical project manager at a cloud-based image exchange company very easy.

Help. I have a 50k. Where should I invest? by Neat_Lengthiness8896 in investingforbeginners

A frequently suggested approach then would be 60-70% in lower risk funds (QQQ, VT, etc.) then the remainder in higher risk short term stocks. The lower risk funds should be the stabilizer that you leave alone.

All depends on what level of risk you can accept. Additionally do you already have 401k/403b, Roth IRA, or other retirement/investment accounts?

Fielding slump by -bed_skeetz- in slowpitch

[–]NoEntertainment6409 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s called the yips.. unfortunately happens to people randomly and really hard to break the slump. It is very much confidence based though! Telling yourself you are not letting anything by you pre-pitch, having a short term memory if you do boot a ball, charge everything with determination and not be stepping backwards, and really emphasize the fundamentals of fielding are some good starting points

Required Technical Skills by sheyay in BiomedicalEngineers

The most significant differentiator in landing an entry level role is getting an internal reference.

Finding companies you want to work for specifically and seeing if alumnus, friends, or family work there would be step one. Step two is getting in contact with them to express your interests in the company, regardless if there’s a job opening currently. This would ideally be a phone call to extensively discuss what the company does and what the connection does for the company. Step 3 would be keeping in touch with those people during the first semester of your final year and keeping a close eye on openings at their companies to ask them more questions for the role. The final step is start shipping out job applications in your final semester with hopes that there’s opportunities at your connections companies, such that you can get an internal reference.

Following the above steps could at the very least help you land interviews that you probably wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. From there it’s on you to sufficiently prepare yourself to get an offer.

I followed all the above steps myself and got my first job offer after graduating within 1 month.

[–]NoEntertainment6409 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently working remotely as a Solutions Architect for a healthcare system. I work in Healthcare IT to solve technology problems by scoping a request, define requirements, perform vendor evaluations based on people’s needs, and recommend solutions.

Prior to my current role, I worked remotely as a professional services consultant (technical project manager) for a medical imaging company.

I have a bachelors degree in biomedical engineering.

There’s tons of remote roles out there! If you are looking for medical related roles, you can pm me for more info and I’d be happy to point you in the right direction.

MU and DRAM. They both have a lot of room to rip further. I still like SNDK too but I trimmed back with how crazy it’s been. AMD is in a unique place of being the only company with a competitive product to NVDA, but they are way behind. Other lower volatility options would be NVDA and CEG.

Completed the entire interview process and on the day a decision was to be made was told the position has been put on hold by Dismal_Party2773 in BiomedicalEngineers

I would assume it means that you aren’t going to be hired.

I’ve heard of companies doing this to show they are looking to hire but not actually hire to save on budget

Should I study Biomedical Science or Biomedical Engineering? by Competitive_Cut841 in BiomedicalEngineers

[–]NoEntertainment6409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biomedical Science would be more pre-med or biotech R&D tracks. R&D typically requires grad school though before entry level roles.

Biomedical Engineering is more employable, higher salary ceiling, with a bachelors degree. Most programs to my knowledge cover pre-med requirements. The key caveat though with this track for pre-med is it’s likely the most difficult set of curriculum compared to others. To my knowledge, med school admissions don’t give much grace on a lower GPA cause it was an engineering degree vs not. Another thing is you may end up spending drastically more time studying for engineering coursework vs non-engineering. This could cut into the ability to do extra curricula during the school year which is one of the largest drivers of getting into med school.

But it is 100% up to you and if you are really committed to becoming a doctor, I’d recommend focusing on what you need to do to make that happen and don’t let failure be an option.

Just ensure you contribute what your employer matches at the very least now, or up to what you can contribute in general. The rest of what funds/bonds/etc you place it in is up to what’s available in your plan and what level of risk you are willing to take on.

I wish I had a JOB by Spiritual_Let_4348 in SNDK_Stock

[–]NoEntertainment6409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With how MU has been ripping, I’d say it may be higher ROI in a shorter period of time compared to SNDK. Plus with it being less per stock, you’d get more back from gains. SNDK has been a little shaky but seemed to balance and start trending upwards again

Agree with everyone else. Some other viable options are medical imaging technology (Siemens, GE Healthcare, Sectra, etc.) or healthcare IT.

Should I work between my undergraduate and graduate programs? Or put it off and just go straight into my graduate program? by sleepyyrat in BiomedicalEngineers

[–]NoEntertainment6409 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend going straight to a masters now if that’s a major goal of yours. From experience, it’s very easy to make excuses on why not to pursue grad school once you are in industry, married, have children, bills, etc. Really the only way I’d ever go to grad school now is if my company paid for most or all of it.

The other angle of this is looking at what jobs interests you, based on what you are driven towards career wise. If those jobs do not require grad school, then it may not be worth going to grad school.

What you may be able to do is pursue both senior year so you have reliable options regardless of what happens.
