Embedded took a huge hit recently. Google and Amazon uninvested significantly in IoT.

  embedded is more than IoT though, I don't know how many embedded engineers Google has, seems not a lot as its consumer hardware are probably outsourced. Amazon does make it own devices and have quite a lot embedded engineers, from my circle, not a single engineer was let go so far, and I know more than 10 of them in various locations and departments. problem with embedded is that it was paid less than SWEs, maybe that's another reason it's "easier" to have jobs.

    Google does not outsource their consumer hardware design and software. Yet.
