Choosing the wrong medical sales role is one of the biggest reasons professionals burn out or walk away from the industry. In this episode, Samuel Adeyinka breaks down exactly how to avoid that mistake — and how to find the medical sales specialty that actually fits your personality, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

Medical sales isn't one-size-fits-all. From trauma reps in the OR at 3 a.m. to pharmaceutical reps building slow-burning relationships, this episode unpacks the real differences between specialties — and how those differences directly impact your happiness and success.

Samuel shares four powerful questions to ask before applying to any role, helping you get clear on your ideal lifestyle, how you like to build relationships, your appetite for clinical depth, and whether you're built for building new business or growing existing accounts.

You'll also learn what hiring managers are really looking for, why desperation kills your chances, and how the wrong fit leads to fast burnout and industry ghosting. This episode is packed with real talk, strategic insight, and a roadmap to make smarter career decisions from the start.
