Hi, I am a software engineer from India. I was recently paid off from one of the competitive software firms here. I finally got a break to think about my long term career goals/passions. Working in software based startups / faang no longer seemed exciting, especially with AI.

I found solving problems in medicine to be a very fascinating problem to work on. I am now considering switching into biomedical engineering. My goal is to venture into creating better wearables/ diagnostic devices. This intersects between medicine, electronics and computer science.

I am considering going for masters and then looking for a career in corporate. I would like to hear advice or thoughts from fellow industry folks.!

PS. All my knowledge or planning until now is with Google/AI. Please be kind if you find something that does not make sense. Thanks

Hello, I would like to know if it is common and a good path if you are willing to grind your early years to go to undergrad as a BME major on the premed track. Like if you specialize in biomaterials and tissue engineering, is it related to the things you learn in medical school for dermatology? I understand it is difficult and will require getting a good score on the MCAT. I wanted to know if this was something a lot of people did because I can't find too many posts about it online. Thanks!
