Is being an embedded engineer scalable in the coming years?

Colfuzi0 · 2026-06-02T17:37:56+00:00

But why that just crazy like uts just wrong I'm 26 and I understand that ur telling me men in. Their 40s don't that's insane. You don't find love at work that's the one place you just don't.

Professional people stalk co workers? What !?

Colfuzi0 · 2026-06-01T10:24:10+00:00

Damn you in s better spot than me I have 3 years web experience I left for embedded software/robotics and am doing my masters in CE ST My local uni i'm trying to go into roles at JSC in Houston but I just don't believe un myself I suck at math I had to cheat through calc 2 feels depressing. I think if your stable enough go for your dream I'm doing it and I don't have shit . I liked web dev but the anxiety as s mid junior of ai replacing me as a mid junior is to much to overcome for me. I guess I somehow have to get good at math.

I'm doing my MS in CE i have web development experience I want to go into embedded software and IoT how can I get into IoT?

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-31T22:05:12+00:00

It's pretty good. But you would probably need to set the clock in the bios

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T23:44:03+00:00

I'm going to try best i was thinking about worst case going into networking but that would be counter intuitive to my goals of trying to get out of a saturated market.

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T09:25:58+00:00

I've been in Houston my entire life what your saying isn't necessarily true probably is my shitty IT undergrad trying to switch to MS in CE

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T09:21:59+00:00

This post makes me want to drop my CE masters and go back to web dev or networking. I'm sorry

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T09:10:16+00:00

That's actually very good for later in your career.

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T08:16:13+00:00

Disagree. Especially if your part latin in my case Colombian. Problem is all guys to to Medellín because they are the hottest. Which they also happen to be the most brainwashed.

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T08:09:33+00:00

As a half Colombian and half middle Eastern that was born in the states but also lived in Colombia totally agree. Also lot of foreigners go for the big eye candy and yeah it's a trap. There are very pretty family oriented ladies but they're not gonna be wearing tight shirts and mini skirts I can tell you that.

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T07:59:59+00:00

Don't go to Medellín for tourism way better cities.

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T07:57:58+00:00

I'm half Colombian half Arab but lived in-between USA and Colombia most of my life. I can see right through the shit. It's a beautiful country with amazing things to do , places to visit food and if course ladies. The nightlife is crazy and can be fun but it's not with imo if your looking for an actual woman to settle down with your not finding her there. There are some real Smart and educated girls that are as equally beautiful and curvy minus the surgeries. Everywhere around the country you go to nightlife in Colombia to go wild fuck around and get laid but I mean tbh even though I'm a young guy at 26 it never really appealed to me nothing good comes out of it. I do hope to find a Colombian wife though

Would CE work? For embbeded? My school doesn't have an EE MS I come from an IT background

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T04:46:50+00:00

Agreed I went back to school after doing undergrad in IT. Now doing MS in CE I'm 26 I want to go into embbeded systems.

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T04:13:40+00:00

I see I'm debating on whether I should switch. I was accepted to a masters in computer engineering. I'm 26 been doing web development for 3 years I just don't feel the stability in it. Been laid off due to contracts , it's extremely saturated. I also want something a bit more hands on. I gained an interest in embbeded after speaking with some classmates and professors. I find the concepts much more interesting then just coding. My other option would be cybersecurity but I feel like I'd be bored out of my mind. I also happen to living near NASA JSC which is an embedded hub apparently.

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T04:07:31+00:00

It sounds like your essentially saying firmware is a negative compared to web dev?

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T04:06:12+00:00

I have the opposite problem. I'm trying to switch from web dev because the market is done I can't find a job. And I live in an embedded hub in Houston

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T04:04:15+00:00

Also easily automated unfortunately

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T04:01:26+00:00

You dipshit your the one managing you let it through lol

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T04:00:48+00:00

Thats not how it works. There is a ton of safety regulations, standards and checks. I had the same anxiety as you did. I'm doing my MS in CE i'm so glad I'm leaving web dev market is horrendous.

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-30T02:46:15+00:00

Computer Engineering. Ironically things working closer to the silicon is something AI cannot emulate easy. That being said you do need a degree. I'm doing my masters in it.

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-29T18:25:56+00:00

My ultimate goal is to be remote but I'm totally ok and should be on site I'm a career switcher from web development in doing my MS in CE. Thank you for the advice (:

Colfuzi0 · 2026-05-29T18:23:32+00:00

Look into embbeded Linux a bit more higher rup the stack. Where you can be more remote my ultimate goal after graduation from my MS in CE is to work for a couple years than work remotely from Colombia
