Unfortunately for us software types, somebody with an EE degree can go into software and then pivot back into RF engineering. I doubt that somebody with a CS degree could (as in, I think they'd be intellectually capable of it, but they'd never get hired).
- sitzkrieg 5mo agoi have done firmware development, pcb design and light ee work and basic rf and antenna design professionally with zero degrees. like anything else it’s a matter of getting your foot in the door first, then outperforming the academic nerds with zero experience
- mike50 5mo agoWith the exception of firmware development those are all designer tasks that have never required a degree.
- sitzkrieg 5mo agoi have never seen any listings for any of these jobs not stipulate a degree being required.
- oscillonoscope 5mo agoWhy are people who don't have degrees always so weird about it?
- sitzkrieg 5mo agoyea, so so weird about sharing how they’re optional.
- oscillonoscope 5mo agoThat might be what you intended but saying "outperforming the academic nerds with zero experience" comes across as bitter and arrogant.
- suburban_strike 5mo agoA history of being forced to overcompensate to assert themselves in spaces where they otherwise aren't taking seriously. People that have multiple degrees are usually pretty weird about it too.
- stiglitz 5mo agoAs someone with a EE degree followed by 12 years of SWE work, that pivot is quite daunting. A degree is just a piece of paper to get you an entry level job to do some real learning IMO
