That is why I went into it as a career, although I’ve pivoted away from it recently due to how the industry treats embedded engineers. Embedded let me relive the early days of programming where almost nothing is kept from you and understanding the system you are working with in a deep way is entirely possible without overstretching yourself. And of course it’s really satisfying to be able to work with a complex electronics schematic as part of your everyday development environment. The issue with it as a career are many unfortunately, such as being forced to used atrocious tooling at times (IAR, looking at you), less remote positions available, and the salary offers can be a joke compared to what you are expected to know. As a hobby though it’s very rewarding.
