My professional goal is to get into a paying low level system programming job with a salary of 90K+ CAD. My current job is too high level to make a one shot transition so I'm considering making multiple hops. I did work on some low level system programming projects but I feel I could never compete with college graduates who have a ton of time to grind on the Linux source code. I have 2 hours at best every day. Maybe it is an unrealistic objective but I'm willing to give it a go.
- ganelonhb 9mo agoSounds like you’d be better off applying to real companies. You sound very smart, or at least capable of people skills and learning. Don’t waste yourself at Microsoft
- twosdai 9mo agoIf youre able to do some networking and tell people verbatim what you just wrote. I think that will help a lot more than grinding kernel logic or whatever. If youre not considering it, I would reccomend trying to find a local hacker club like defcon or 2600. There are usually a few embedded folks who go or are affiliated with those.
