Advice for an OSS

Wanted to ask this subreddit their opinion. I’m currently working for Stryker for over a year and a half as an onsite specialist. I took this job to see if med device was the right fit and the goal was to develop into sales. So far I’ve loved it but I’ve been interviewing even internally and externally for next steps. But have had no luck in securing any role, I’m looking to move to a city in the Northeast so I don’t know if it’s just location wise but I would love to hear if anyone’s been able to get those roles. Interested in associate sales rep positions but now am open to a clinical specialist role. People have said getting in Stryker is hard enough so enjoy it but I want something more. Is it really a numbers game of applying to so many jobs ?
