So got a recruiter reach out to me for a Java position in the medical industry..

Anyone got experience with that kind of stuff?

I'm kinda torn here because I like where I am, as in I like the people and the industry.

The actual work though.. Ugh
This stupid apache wicket framework is killing me.

So

The case for:
-no wicket
-hybrid (at the moment I'm 90% in office)
-More monies are always nice (recently bought an apartment)

The case against:
-I like my people
-I don't really wanna risk another probation (see above, apartment)
-I'm not great with change
-It might be a bit soon (I started my current job in Nov last year)

Medical industry is mayhem. These days they do work of 30 years in six months but it's OK if it doesn't work. At least, vaccines. Don't know about software

Do it.

The people you work with will be likeable in the majority of the places you work.

You'll get diverse experience, and you'll get better at change by practising it.

Everytime you switch jobs for more money, you reach a new baseline for salary expectations and become more willing to negotiate.

The only reason you're not switching is fear of the unknown. If it's worse, just switch again until it isn't.

@retoor regarding the vaccines, the new types have been in development for way more than a decade but they just had not managed to get them economical enough.

The main benefit with the new ones are that the base is not specific to just one stem of viruses, instead its just a carrier and they then add in the pattern of the virus. This can be done way faster than traditional vaccines which for proved to be a game changer when corona hit allowing a vaccine to be ready in months instead of years and now that the manufacturing is in place they can compete on price to and they also can wait longer before they start producing which means less guess work to which virus will be dominant.

And they can be customized to a lot of problems that traditional vaccines cannot help with

So its not really that they invented something new in 6 months, they just got the money to actually finalize something they had been working on for a long time.
