I didn’t get the job — and honestly, I needed that. In this season finale of Redoctoring, I reflect on my recent interview for a corporate medical role that didn’t go the way I hoped. But behind the “no” was a clear message: corporate medicine is a world of its own — with its own rules, language, expectations, and pace. In this episode, I unpack what I learned, what I’ll do differently, and why this ‘failure’ might’ve been the best teacher yet. Whether you’re considering a corporate pivot or just curious about what it’s like on the other side of the hospital walls, this one’s for you.

Essential but Unemployed - Rebranding the Crisis
The growing reality that even the most “essential” professionals in society are now unemployed. In this episode of Redoctoring, I’m saying the quiet part out loud: doctors have been entitled to job security for too long, and now that it’s gone, we don’t know how to respond — or how to communicate the crisis in a way that makes people care.Let’s talk about how to reframe this moment. This episode is a wake-up call for the profession and a rallying cry to rebrand our messaging — not just for us, but for the communities we serve. If we want to march to parliament and be heard, we need to speak a language people can rally behind.Redoctoring is a podcast for doctors redefining success, identity, and life outside the traditional medical path.📌 Connect with me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redoctoring/profilecard/?igsh=MW9iZHplMDh1MHR6cA==TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@redoctoring?_t=ZM-8whcn0tltzi&_r=1YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RedoctoringNewsletter: coming soon!
