Zoe Lee: How To Join a Tech Startup As a Medical Student
Let me start off by saying that Zoe is doing exactly the things which I should have done while I was in medical school. During her second year in medical school, she decided she wanted to try out something different on the side, and sent out around 30-40 applications for internships in various companies. That landed her her current part-time job at Melon, an EdTech startup where she works as Community Associate.
I met Zoe quite randomly via LinkedIn as I saw one of her posts about how she get her tech job as a doctor. I thought that was really cool because not many medical students even consider the possibility of working at a tech startup during medical school - or even after medical school, for that matter.
I was super excited to talk to Zoe because I think that many listeners of this podcast, especially medical students and junior doctors, could be very interested to learn about her experiences: How the hell do you get a tech startup job as a medical student? And how do you make it work, is there even enough time? And, if she had to choose, which job would she prefer right now?
