If you are a med tech, or an ex-med tech, Kindly share with me your experience !

Honestly, you will not make it far as it is pretty much a waiting-for-promotion industry. I served at a local hospital in its lab before and the seniors there are around 40+ while the chance of promoting to managerial positions is slim when there are 20+ youngsters fighting for limited promotion. As there are many senior scientists holding high positions, it is a very slow career path. I.e you have to wait for the retirement of the senior scientist for the whole long chain of promotion to start going. Rates of turnover are low too
