Lowkey regret leaving surgical residency for ER

Man some days I feel bad for leaving surgery residency for biotech ER. Used to feel important learning the art of surgery. Now I’m just putting numbers in excel and editing PowerPoints.

Anyone have a similar experience? Does it get better?

Wanting to go to buyside is fairly normal. But I also think you need time to adjust (unless you’ve been in your role >6 months). A big thing is culture and maybe your team/Analyst is weird idk? People discount how important it is to have a solid working relationship with team. To me, this is more important than bank brand. So if you think your teams weird, shop around.
 

I have a ton of buyside contacts in healthcare. They make it pretty clear whose research they like. And it’s not the big banks. Look at smaller guys if you’re at a big bank like Leerink, Cowen, and LifeSci
