Does anyone else really not like medical device sales? I am really struggling and would like to get out of it. Any stories of how to get out and when to know when it is time to go would be much appreciated.

Been in this since graduation & feel the same way.

Would like to say I am feeling the same way. It was my dream job but after 4 years in trauma I’m desperate for a switch.

How are you both doing? Any luck on the job search? What divisions of your companies are you in?

No luck. I don’t see much available that is worth the switch..

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
