I've really only worked in embedded (aerospace mainly), aside from an internship. While I enjoy working on satellites with all the entailed constraints, the relatively low salaries and slow pace of progress have been getting to me. I'm near completing a master's in CS, which should help a bit in elevating myself as a candidate without real webdev experience. For those of you who have transitioned from embedded to web or another high-demand area (ML, distributed systems), how did you find that transition? And for those who've stayed in embedded, what is it about the work that keeps you from leaving?
