Can anyone shed light onto how different these two are? I understand that Biotech is more focused on drug trials, science etc. and med tech is more financial related.
I’m about to graduate my PhD program and would be interested in biotech > MedTech. However I received an offer for MedTech. Any job is better than no job, however ultimately I want to cover biotech.
Similarities between the two? Differences? How hard would that lateral be down the road?

Medtech industry = physical products that need to pass clinical trials (think products for knee replacements)
Biotech industry = prospective pharmaceutical drugs that need to pass clinical trials (think BigPharma that created 'covid') lol :)
I'm not in the industry but I imagine that the PHD and experience snuffing out what'll pass trials and what won't, will still be transferable between one or the other. For not being the role you want, it's about the closest/best role to set you up to get into it later.
