3.5 YoE, Web Dev, HealthTech, would appreciate your input

[serene drum]

@quick forum I am certain that my experience is different than most, given that I am at a smaller startup which always means I am many steps closer to the end users, and also the C-suite put a lot of faith in me. I was in client meetings with doctors at the table before I reached 6 months. Feedback cycles are also much shorter than I would expect them to be at a bigger company. At the end of the day though, it still feels like working mostly on software and not on helping people, even though we do hear feedback that "XYZ clinic loves this feature!" and we can see the usage.

I'm more than certain that's company-specific. On my project that I highlight in my most recent one, there were a lot of meetings to ideate around that custom dashboard to figure out what they actually needed vs what they thought they wanted. And, there is always a lot of CRUD, can't get away from it

You mean for future job applications or for my current job?

• For my current job, I have used my knowledge to help my design team figure out what the doctors were asking for or understand some clinical technicalities in how things would/should appear on graphs. I would say this is not a regular thing I do, though.

• For job applications, I would hope that healthcare domain knowledge would be looked upon favourably to applying to jobs in healthtech. Also, just the interpersonal communication experience that comes with that, which I guess I haven't really emphasized

I think you're right though, when I'm not applying to healthtech I may drop the summary and maybe put a project in place? IDK

Makes sense

Thank you, I appreciate that. If you have any feedback on weaker bullet points I'm all open to them. I have replacement bullet points I could use.

I'm still in the ideation process, haven't quite started applying yet.

I also don't have a public project I'm really proud of. All the old code I have from 2020 is garbage when I look at it. I would not want a tech person to see that. So I may need to come up with something new.

Oh hey, that looks cool. Appreciate it, I'll check that out

Busy with work and personal life, also crafting up this resume which I havent done in years. I'm also a little burnt out and have 3 weeks of vacation stocked up I should probably go use before I burn out further lmao

I'm old man. You new grads and your boundless energy 😛 started my first degree in 2010
