## Summary

Joe Mullings, chairman and CEO of the Mullings Group, discusses the shifting dynamics of the MedTech job market, emphasizing that top performers prioritize career growth and skill development over compensation. He advises professionals to network proactively by building a personal brand on LinkedIn and to negotiate offers using multiple 'levers' such as flexibility and early merit reviews. Mullings also argues that in-person collaboration remains non-negotiable for early-career engineers and those working on high-stakes medical devices, while acknowledging the rise of geographic arbitrage for remote roles.
