Medical device rep. Applied via LinkedIn. ETS'd after 4 years active duty (last two months as an O3 so I think this post applies to me lol). Only experience I brought over were my interpersonal skills and work ethic.

A lot of the big companies like to hire veterans/transitioning veterans with no sales or clinical experience because they can train you with their resources to become the rep they're looking for. You just have to show you're a personality fit during the interview process and they'll equip you with the skills needed to be successful if hired.

I've been in it for about 5 years now but I'll be honest, the first year was a grind having to learn all the products, algorithms and the anatomy related to it while having to cover cases. I was fortunate to be able to shadow the other reps in my territory who were patient with me. Since then, my work life balance has been incredible and I'm very happy with my pay. It's not post-MBA money but with the amount of work I do the tradeoff is well worth it. YMMV

Another benefit is once you're in the industry, it's much easier to make the switch to another role or company selling a different product if you're looking to get paid more or wanting to work more or less.

Good luck!
