I’m a bme senior with a bio degree, and tried getting an internship this summer at few medtech and pharma companies, just 2 interviews, made it to the 2nd round of one of them just to get rejected.

Though after that a recruiter at one of these companies offered me a chemical operator role instead. I figured I could use that as experience or would it not matter much? Should I keep trying to get an internship or co-op instead?

I live in an area that is heavy in manufacturing medical device and pharma companies.

I was planning on doing a manufacturing engineering masters with pharmaceutical processes specialization, but I went to a graduate school orientation and was informed about how there’s a biomedical masters program with a “manufacturing medical device and pharma emphasis” route. What would be better?

I know that I don’t necessarily need a master’s to land those roles, but since I am already in studying mindset I would like to get mine before shutting out my brain from studying.

I live in Puerto Rico, and decided to go into BME after getting my biology bachelors since I always liked both engineering and biology. Also helped that most of my bio/chem/physics credits transferred so it’s only 1.5~2 years of classes.

I thought it would be a good idea considering PR has a bunch of big biomed/pharma companies. Should I have gone into a different *engineering major or is it not as bleak as people say? I’m planning to go into a masters either in manufacturing (since most of the big companies manufacture here) and/or ME after.

Am I screwed? lol

edit: added *engineering

I am a senior in BME currently living in Puerto Rico. I want to pivot to something else besides bme for my masters and been leaning towards manufacturing. Is that worth going for?
