Welcome back to another episode of the RepPath Podcast, hosted by Joe Licata, where we bring you unfiltered, real world medical sales coaching. Direct, honest, and exactly what you need if you're trying to break into this industry.
Today’s episode tackles one of the biggest misconceptions candidates make:
“Medical Device and Pharma Are the Same Job.”
They’re NOT.
Not even close.
And saying otherwise is one of the fastest ways to raise a red flag with recruiters and hiring managers.
Joe breaks down the real differences between the two paths including lifestyle, workload, pressure, patient interaction, selling style, income potential, travel, credentialing, and the psychological differences that shape each career. If you’re trying to break into medical sales, this episode will help you avoid major mistakes and understand which path truly fits you.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why telling a recruiter “I’m open to device or pharma” instantly shows you haven’t done enough research
- The real day to day differences between being in the OR vs being in a physician’s office
- How instant gratification in device compares to delayed feedback in pharma
- What “getting yes’d to death” means on the pharma side
- Why lifestyle and work hours look completely different in device vs pharma
- The level of pressure device reps experience in the OR when the entire room is watching
- Why device reps often earn more and why pharma offers more stability and structure
- What diagnostics roles look like and how they sit between pharma and device
- How credentialing, P and T committees, VAC committees, and GPOs impact access
- What hiring managers really think about pharma to device transitions
- Why a four year degree is required in pharma but flexible in device
- The most important factor that determines whether pharma or device is right for you
- And much more
This is not the sugar coated version. This is the honest truth every candidate needs before choosing a path.
