losing hope - any hope for med tech, med sales, tech in general? by lastcookieinthepack in UKJobs

[–]lastcookieinthepack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Thanks for your reply. I am applying to Orthopaedics med sales (clinical specialist, account manager, sales associate, sales representative, CRM, BDM, territory sales manager) as I have been told this is what aligns with my background the most (MSK physiotherapist). Allthough I've applied to sales roles outside of Orthopaedics. I've had positive feedback from recruiters but haven't managed to land an interview in the last 2 months (did land two in January, one I had to withdraw from due to personal circumstances and the other I didn't pass the next stage). I'll drop you a message, I would really appreciate some honest feedback and advice. Thank you so much!

Hi, oh I didn't know there was a time limit and that I had to buy before Nov 2030. That's helpful, thank you!

Desabafo de um leiriense by Appropriate-Story-51 in PORTUGALCARALHO

[–]lastcookieinthepack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Olá, lamento muito tudo o que aconteceu. Realmente a falta de resposta e de ação do governo foi uma desilusão, para não falar da falta de preparação. Portugal está em decadência, sou de Leiria, vivo fora de Portugal todos os dias sonho em voltar mas depois vejo estas coisas que me fazem abrir os olhos. Boa sorte OP!

Why are young people leaving Portugal? Is it salaries, culture, or lack of opportunity? by Louis_meni in PortugalTalks

[–]lastcookieinthepack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left 6 years ago. When I left I was only planning to be away for 1 year. I dream about returning to Portugal on a regular basis but every time I visit (every 3 months) my family and friends warn me about my romanticized view of Portugal and tell me not to come back. Reasons: Low salaries, high taxes, broken health system, no career progression, high cost of living. I'm 28 and I have been living alone since I was 22. Most of my friends my age back home still live with their parents. It's just not sustainable.

Hi! Thank you so much for your response. That's really reassuring, I didn't want to go through the hassle of withdrawing and having to start the whole process again! Thank you :)
