If you think just applying is enough, it isn’t. Everyone wants the six-figure med device job, but most people have no idea what it actually takes to get there. Learn the hard truths about breaking into the industry. Why most candidates fail, what top companies are really looking for, and how to become the kind of person they feel lucky to hire.


Key Takeaways

  • Understand that medical device sales isn’t like a regular job where you apply and get hired after a couple of interviews. You're going up against experienced professionals and even current reps who want a better gig.
  • Make sure you show up like a professional. Being chill might work with your friends, but it won’t land you a six-figure job talking to surgeons and execs. No jeans and T-shirts at interviews. No “lit” or “dog” in conversations.
  • Knowing someone in the industry might get you an intro or a first-round interview, but it won’t carry you through the whole process. You still have to earn it. Every company is different, and connections alone won’t cut it.
  • You’ve got to level up your mindset. Don’t chase the six-figure job thinking money alone will solve everything. You need to become the kind of person who deserves that paycheck. Companies would feel lucky to hire you.
  • Age doesn't matter as much as how prepared and professional you are. Maturity, attitude, and consistency are what win the job, not your resume alone.
