There's a relatively new discipline in cyber-security around the Internet-of-Things (IoT) that focuses on medical devices. Do you have any experience in the security of medical devices? Your in-hospital experience and your ability to talk to IT/IS folks about the risks would be worth its weight in gold.

I would try to find a way to get into pharmaceutical/medical software sales, that way if you are able to get a phone screen you can make the case that you’re familiar with those types of buyers/industry and then learn the tech side. Stay there for a year or 2 then starting looking into other SaaS products.

Honestly go on Reddit. There are a ton of resources and posts that give great advice. It’s a tough market right now, make sure to vet the company as lots just did layoffs. Check Repvue, peersignal and other sources before you take an offer.

Find someone in your LinkedIn network and ask them if they want to set up 30 minutes to ask about their career and ask for a referral. They will likely get a nice referral bonus

Quick question—why do you want to move out of Med device, and what is the appeal of SaaS?

I’ve been doing SaaS sales in the medical field for 4 years and it’s brutal. If I had the skill set to move into Med devices I would.

But if you want to talk through it DM me.

Everyone wants to be in SaaS until they are in SaaS.

I’m feeling guilty for feeling burnt out. I’m a second year in a quasi-lit role and my hours are not that bad (well below 2000), but I am exhausted by work and wracked with anxiety all the time. I feel terrible complaining because my peers bill so much more than me. I do incident response and my hours are unpredictable, so maybe that’s it, but I don’t know. Even when it’s slow I feel terrible. I worked for years before law school and didn’t feel this way. Is anyone else in the same boat?

Any best practices on what has worked to streamline recruiting processes for devs?

2nd stage of our interview process is a technical challenge and a conceptual discussion (system design)

Do any of you have experience with structuring a technical challenge to where it's the same for each candidate? I've had it happen where our devs asked questions to each candidate based on their lived experience vs. a standard set of questions that revolve around what needs to be performed in a dev role.
