Not all places of business are one in the same, nor is our ability to succeed in said environments.
Working for the establishment (the Bigs, Conglomerates, Strategics, etc) versus being in the start-up arena is a constant back and forth consideration for many of us in the medical device industry. This becomes especially true if we find ourselves looking elsewhere for work at which point the phrase “the grass is greener on the other side” may come to mind.

 Not all places of business are one in the same, nor is our ability to succeed in said environments. This, of course, is an obvious statement but for reasons verging on inconspicuous.
In business, working for the establishment (the Bigs, Conglomerates, Strategics, etc) versus being in the start-up arena is a constant back and forth consideration for many of us in the medical device industry. This becomes especially true if we find ourselves looking elsewhere for work at which point the phrase “the grass is greener on the other side” has a devilish way of distorting our worldview.  My Story in the Startup WorldWorking for big business certainly has its perks, there’s no doubt about it. Stability, direction, benefits, work that is defined – you name it. For some, this is the ideal work environment. We plot along through our 8-5 and enjoy the consistent pace that comes with it.
