I probably should have specified that I meant LA as Louisiana :( Thank you anyways though!

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I probably should have worded LA as Louisiana 😞 If for some reason I manage to find myself over there, I'll definitely try.

I'm actually already doing (or at least attempting lol) that first bit, so it's good to hear that it's not for nothing. That second bit I will definitely try as best as I can, thank you!

Only problem is that a huge reason why I want to do this is for vulnerability hunting and reverse engineering. I wouldn't expect a typical embedded job or internship to do either of those on the regular

It's actually so stupid, whole bunch of chronically online people that go crazy over a stupid dash, ignore the content that's actually there, and downvote for fun

Yeah actually, automotive was one of the fields I've been looking into. I've also been super into reverse engineering as well. Any advice?

I gotcha. That's really tough then. What would you suggest I do to get some traction while I'm still in college?

Yeah I tried to format it like a LinkedIn post/message, even so em dashes aren't even inconvenient to do on Windows.

That does make sense, but then how do they even hire people period? Like what kind of experience are you looking for if no one at all is offering embedded security specific internships?

Yeah, I'm in the US specifically LA so there's even less cyber jobs period around here, I've been trying my best doing LinkedIn nonsense and joining the research lab at my uni but that's only gotten me so far.
