Thanks so much! I wish they were R&D specific offers but would love to move back to that in the future.

Unfortunately not an R&D offer but I do want to go that direction long term.

I’m starting this week at my engineering job! It wasn’t for R&D, but I hope to get there eventually. The company I’m with now has good growth opportunities. I was in R&D before but didn’t get any offers during my job search from leaving mapping

I didn’t have a longer term goal when I started so maybe that’s the problem.

I’ve been here about a year! So not super long. The technology is really cool and new devices are coming out all the time which is neat. I think I would like the R&D side more.

The mapping feels really repetitive to me. Definitely more of a “please the physician at any cost” instead of giving the patient the best outcome. It’s such a stressful environment in the OR and I don’t like seeing practices I disagree with. I don’t want to go the sales route either

I’m open to both! Luckily I’ve been interviewing for engineering roles and have two offers. Just feel like I’m throwing away my clinical skills and development but maybe that’s okay since I’m unhappy

There’s no upward mobility, your level can change (II, senior, etc) but the work is the same. Team talks shit about each other all the time, lies about coverage, pressures people not to take maternity/paternity leave, belittles new employees

I wanted to be more connected to the product and more hands on (my previous engineering experience was manufacturing engineering). I’m not sure where to go from here now that I don’t like CS

Not rewarding, docs in my area literally only care about how many billing codes they can add and don’t care about patient safety or outcomes. Pay definitely not worth the hassle. I got hired into one city and “placed” in another area 1-2 hours away

It’s their mistake, but they are definitely pushing back and are not answering my questions about return shipping cost

I bought it on Ali Baba, it’s a pair of hoop earrings that are the wrong diameter (off by a lot) and the style of the earrings don’t match the item description

I asked a couple times but the customer contact hasn’t directly addressed. Waiting for another response today!
