What if for a career switch? I work as a data eng but have no idea how to make the switch (looks like a huge leap indeed). I did start working on some personal projects but I don't think they are enough to prove. I actually don't know how many projects to prove.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoI want to say apply to any job that seems interesting since some of the best programmers I've worked with on embedded systems came from desktop & web backgrounds because they had a good grasp of modern development techniques as opposed to "hack & fix." But those were systems where we abstracted away as much of the hardware as we could so everyone could focus on "business logic." The hardware interface is the part that's hardest to debug, so we try to put as little as possible into those layers. Unfortunately, it sounds like that's exactly where you want to be working :-(
