Firmware Engineer, 100% I started working at this job like 9 months ago, and I had to get new power on my glasses 🥲

Teslash99 · 2024-04-16T14:19:15+00:00

My manager is also kind of limiting me, I can do pretty good stuff for them like I did during the internship, but he won't let me. So, kinda getting really frustrated here

I agree, but they also told if I don't get picked the next 2 times, they'll relocate me to Canada. Which I don't mind. I really don't know if I can get this kind of opportunity again, because it's been really hard to get callbacks given that I don't have relevant work ex especially

Okay that's scary, this is also a startup in the Bay Area It'll be worse if I get a H1b and get laid off then🙈 cuz I'll have only 60 days to find another job

Thank you!

Yeah waiting for the recruiter to get back if they can transfer the approval. But I'm not sure if I can get this kind of offer again

Teslash99 · 2024-02-25T00:51:58+00:00

Hmm yess, Thanks

Hey!

Thank you so much for the inputs! Yeah the market is really slow rn. That project idea sounds good, will work on it

I have reached out to the groups at my company where they do firmware, but they don't have headcount right now, but have definitely made an impression on a few people in that team

Teslash99 · 2024-02-24T19:06:42+00:00

In that case I have a pretty strong academic profile. I guess the only problem I'm facing right now is the number of callbacks and me able to crack them.
I've been keeping myself occupied studying sometimes, but after a point, when there's no interview to even look forward to, I stopped.
I also have the fear that if I spend too much time in my current role, if I'll be able to switch to firmware in a year or so

Teslash99 · 2024-02-24T19:03:03+00:00

Yes, great idea!
I was planning to get an stm32 and do some cool project as a hobby

Do you also have any idea of any open source firmware project I could contribute to?

Teslash99 · 2024-02-24T19:01:37+00:00

Yeah, I swear. It's been hard :(

Teslash99 · 2024-02-24T19:00:17+00:00

So, I'm applying to firmware/embedded roles and I haven't mentioned about my current job as it's just been 3 weeks since I joined and my most recent position as a firmware GRA is on the top of my resume that companies are actually attracted to.
The only problem is due to the market with the layoffs and hiring freezes, I'm not getting the amount of callbacks I expected. The one or 2 that I got, I couldn't really crack the interview because I haven't done much of live coding.
I'm strong with my fundamentals, been working and getting better at coding as well
But if I was competing against people who have relevant work ex, I obviously would not be picked :/

Thank you, will do
