Alli Peck spent 10 years in biomedical engineering and says believing in your company's mission makes you work harder. When she thought about the patients using the medical devices she built, she went the extra mile. Without that belief, you're just collecting a paycheck.
I can absolutely understand why you wouldn't want to go the extra mile or go above and beyond for a company if you think that work is not that important. That's why I am encouraging you and everybody out there to try to work for companies where you believe in their mission, you believe in their values, their product really hits home for you and it makes you want to do good work. I got my degrees in biomedical engineering, and for the last 10 years I have worked in the medical device industry. When I'm having a hard day at work, I. I remember who the patients are, that the medical equipment I'm designing and developing is going to help. And that helps me push a little bit at work and go the extra mile because I'm helping people and that makes me feel really good inside. On the other hand, I can definitely see why if you're just working for a paycheck and you don't really care about the product or the company, I can absolutely see why it would be really difficult to fathom going above and beyond.
