I would look to get out of ortho into CV or EV, you will take a short term hit on comp but long term way better. Styker instruments is the best job in ortho as far as pay and work life balance if you can get that gig",

Best decision you can ever make.\n\n May take longer to jump up into leadership roles but you honestly may not want to get into leadership because you’ll be making great capital money and hardly have to work.\n\n You’ll have to sell yourself heavily in interviews though as lots of hurling managers didn’t look at Trauma or implant sales as a real sales job",

I've interviewed twice in the last week for oncology sales and joint recon. Both seem interesting and pay is okay waiting to hear back still. If only trauma was 9-5 I'd never leave its by far my favorite job I've had. The work life is just so unsustainable.",

OTE is handsome but work life balance is becoming too much for me with a baby on the way. I can see a path to management in trauma if i stay and tough it out but there’s no telling how long that could be. Work and schedule intensity don’t matter to me as long as I’m able to give up majority of the “on call” aspect of my current role, OTE would be the only other deciding factor here. Open to division/company changes as well as rep roles or looking at management. Where should I look to next?",
