Hey everyone, I recently got an offer from a MM bank in ER covering Med-Tech. I do not plan on looking for a new job anytime soon, but would love to hear some more experienced people's thoughts.
I would like to try to eventually transition over to Buy-Side ER at a HF, and I want to know how big of a role what sector you cover plays into making the transition. Is Med-Tech an attractive sector for HF's to poach SS ER associates from? After going through many 13-Fs I am aware that most HFs have some exposure to the Med-Tech industry, but still just want to hear other people's thoughts on what I can do to make myself an attractive candidate for a HF when I eventually would like to make the switch.
Would really appreciate any insight on this, and thank you!

Following, do you have/need any medical background/experience?
I worked at a small HC VC firm for 3 years before wanting to transition over to sell-side research. No medical/HC education, was a finance major.
may I ask why the transition from VC to public?
Yes. P72 has a big medtech team.
Med tech is a decent spot to be in, usually end up cross covering some of the life science names as well. Don’t need advanced degree/med background for these tbh
