My nephew is a brilliant (4.0) entry level biomedical engineer. He just got rejected from a device tech co. after 5 rounds of interviews and is discouraged. Any suggestions or referrals for him? Other bowls?
I joined this bowl just for this post. Thank you.

You’re the CEO, no space in your company? 🤔

Thanks for clarifying. The current situation honestly is though in this space. Almost every company is undergoing a restructuring so the process is going to be long and tiring. Unfortunately, him being at entry level makes it even tougher.
Not in device tech myself so can’t speak for the specific space but in general, there are tons of applications for any opening these days. It’s a hard slog.

Biotech and Pharma is a competitive space right now especially with many layoffs and hiring freezes. There are a lot of people out there from this industry without a job...

Nonetheless he should keep trying. It may be a long process if that is what he really wants.

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

I’m sure others have considered this, I really feel burned out on my specific subspecialty. For the most part I do interventional pain management. I am midway through my career, but I cannot in anyway see doing this for the future, it just doesn’t feel like I’m making a difference. I’m honored to be a physician and to help a handful of people, but any suggestions on changing specialties mid life? I have perhaps 15 to 20 years yet to practice.. I’ve looked at concierge medicine, I’m open
