Would this be a good move?
I'm a territory manager selling surgical instruments at one of the biggest medtech companies and was messaged about an associate position at Edwards in the structural heart division. It would be a title demotion, but a pay increase in base and OTE. I'm a couple of years into my med device career and considering whether it would be better to stick with my current position or pursue this new opportunity.
I'm comfortable in my current role and not actively searching, but when this came up, it caught my attention since cardiac device positions are difficult to get without prior cardiac experience. From a long-term career perspective, would you stay where you are and continue building experience as a Territory Manager, or take the title demotion to get into structural heart?
TLDR: I'm a TM selling surgical instruments with a big medtech company and was messaged about an associate position with Edwards structural heart. Stay where I am or pursue structural heart opportunity?
