I was an embedded system engineer (degree in computer engineer) I've designed RTL with FPGA, worked with embedded linux, device drivers, bare metal c and etc. the problem with embedded is that : 1. There are almost no jobs when compared to other kinds of software development. All the embedded jobs have been outsourced for so long and I don't see this trend reversing 2. The pay is really low for what you're expected to do. Really, really low. I've made this thread before the transition: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8158023 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8158023
