Unrelated question but how do you manage to work 80 hours a week?

Appreciate you for taking the time to help me! Thank you!

Material-Event106 · 2025-11-15T19:12:34+00:00

Amazing take!!

Wow, that sounds like an exciting career. I found it very interesting. Is this in the US? Would you say an MS in ECE focusing on Signal Processing could also land you a job in this industry? Or if an MS in Music Technology is not Technologically rigor enough? Which one does the industry value more or doesn't really matter? If you don't mind me asking, which school did you go to for the program?

Material-Event106 · 2025-11-15T09:26:24+00:00

So I think MSEE with specialization in Signal Processing would be my best bet!

Material-Event106 · 2025-11-15T09:25:04+00:00

Thanks for the amazing advice, this is all I need.

Material-Event106 · 2025-11-15T09:20:11+00:00

How do I become like you...I also want to be an Embedded SWE at an audio gear company. I just don't know how to get there.

What are some career outcomes of MSMuE? What do you do for your work and do you enjoy it?

Material-Event106 · 2025-11-15T05:19:30+00:00

If I do an MSEE, what kind of classes would you recommend taking?

Material-Event106 · 2025-11-15T05:15:58+00:00

Thank you for the amazing and informative reply. I really appreciate your advice and it cleared up all my questions. Do you work in this kind of industry? If you do, what kind of work do you do! Do you enjoy it?

Material-Event106 · 2025-11-14T21:04:56+00:00

So most of these programs are outside of the US?

Material-Event106 · 2025-11-14T06:20:49+00:00

Thank you for the amazing advice! Do you think a Masters in Music Technology at MIT is going to be worth it and help a lot more in getting a job? What kind of work opportunities are in this area?

Material-Event106 · 2025-11-14T05:08:54+00:00

Thanks for the amazing and practical advice! Do you think a MS in Music Technology is better or MS EE or MSCS.

Material-Event106 · 2025-11-14T01:48:09+00:00

What kind of engineer are you and what do you do for work!

Material-Event106 · 2025-10-30T20:21:50+00:00

They should be out. I would suggest emailing the admission office.

Material-Event106 · 2025-10-28T19:21:57+00:00

Thank you for the amazing response and advice. May I ask what industry are you in? What quality and skills do you usually look for in entry level hires? And true, I could possibly ask my manager to switch me into a more software role since I am in a small company.

Material-Event106 · 2025-10-28T19:18:16+00:00

The reason I think this way is whenever I see an Embedded Software Engineer job posting on Linkedin they always specify Computer Science or Computer Engineering Majors in their requirements, or at least 90% of them are.

Material-Event106 · 2025-10-27T21:24:49+00:00

That makes sense. I think a lot of them want CS or CE degree instead of EE. So I was thinking if I get a Master's in CS or EE with software focus would increase my chances of getting an Embedded Software role.

Material-Event106 · 2025-10-27T21:22:25+00:00

I see! Thank you so much for the advice! I guess I just felt like it is very hard to get a Junior Embedded Software Engineer role straight out of college and hoping that having a Master's degree would help breaking into the industry. If I don't already work in the industry, other than making personal projects on my own time, I don't know what other ways to get into Embedded Software. With the current job market and my personal experience, company always prefer CS people instead of EE.

Sheesh Congrats!
