I'll echo this and have done something of this path. It's a very similar field surprisingly. Quite rewarding too. The timelines for products are also about the same (years-decade).
The one tip is to not bother applying to Medtronic. They don't actually hire anything outside of interns. All the job postings are for internal roles (but required by federal law to be ... blah blah blah). Suffice to say, don't bother.
- eddd-ddde 2y agoI'm curious. So this company basically only hires newbies and trains them from zero to any role they might need? That's kinda cool.
- behringer 2y agoExcept for the worker that will see stagnant wages.
- mbrameld 2y agoCouldn't they change employers after leveling up their skills?
- ghaff 2y agoI suppose the theory is that people won't see significant pay increases if they stay with the same company (but also presumably that if everyone leaves after training, the company will just stop training workers).
- giantg2 2y agoJoke's on you - my wages are already stagnate.
- mensetmanusman 2y agoIt’s not true, I have many colleagues that have made lateral movements into Medtronic (and out… and back).
- ska 2y agoThis isn’t really true in my experience. They may be leery of hiring from outside the industry.
