I write firmware for micro-controllers and deal mostly with engineers, techs, other sane code monkeys, and an occasional customer. My occasional dealings with actual mainstream software developers is generally unpleasant.
I would suggest firmware or some other job where software is part of the product not the product.

- burntoutfire 6y agoLooking at embedded job offers near me, plenty of them advertise using Scrum or some heavier waterfally processes. I suspect you'd be free of the bullshit only in a very small company, but that is true also for non-firmware development.
- sheepybloke 6y agoI agree 100%. Sometimes, it's not the type of work but the people you're working with. In the embedded space, you work with a lot more electrical and computer engineers, who, in my opinion, are "generally" a lot more tolerable. My worst experiences so far in both my career and in school were when I had to work with straight CS people. There's a certain personality that gets pulled in to it that can be toxic and hard to work with.
