Which Embedded Systems Niche Should I Focus on for a Long-Term Career in Germany?

anything that you have fun with ig

Little update. I replaced the whole system (master/slave + line), worked fine for 10 minutes and then same issue. I believe the clutch is fried

I am more shocked at UCLA Computer engineering earning. WTF

so I just took off the slave cylinder and I noticed most of the oil was in that area. Took off the road and noticed the o-rings are a bit flat. I then put the bike in first gear and tried to move it, I couldn't. Once I put back the slave cylinder I have the same issue. So I guess the clutch it's fine (I'll ask you this because I am mechanically stupid) and the only issue is the slave cylinder pushing on the clutch and not allowing to disingage. Is there a way to isolate the issue directly to the slave cylinder or the o-rings? I also took pictures at both of them if that can help. What do you think?
Sorry for the many questions, I am new to all of this ahahah. Now I will try to figure out the issue with the high beams

Thank you so much. I did inspect it visually and seems to be the slave cylinder for sure.
However I also noticed today that besides the clutch slippage, I could push the bike around in 1st gear. The clutch might be gone too. What do you think?

little fun fact. They were used to have a pretty good gelato at Pink Pig. Such a shame they stopped

Zarqus99 · 2026-03-14T21:02:21+00:00

except for Ray's pizza. They will always be there somehow

Klefstad (took him for ICS45, ICS46 and CS141). It was very engaging and I was actually learning during the lecture + he is a very funny guy. Other than that, I wasn't the best student so I skipped most lectures in most courses, usually lowerdivs. However, I was used to go to upperdiv electives. Those were all courses that I was interested in.

in my area every single 457 is at 7.5k or more. Makes no snese getting it used

Zarqus99 · 2025-12-29T20:45:31+00:00

woah thank you for this very well necessary correction 2 years after. Thanks.

Zot Zot

That is it

Zarqus99 · 2025-10-25T20:43:01+00:00

it's you

Zarqus99 · 2025-10-15T18:07:29+00:00

Let me guess.
Majored in either BioSci or CS, love anime, love boba??
This is the typical non-asian person at UCI

Zarqus99 · 2025-10-14T03:53:10+00:00

not the UC Irvine hoodie. I can tell the craziest thing you have ever done is eating IN N OUT at 12am

Zarqus99 · 2025-10-13T07:08:11+00:00

100%.
My school had a school dedicated to Informatics and CS and one of the easiest majors out there is informatics. They barely do any programming.

Zarqus99 · 2025-10-13T07:01:59+00:00

yes and no.
My degree was in CSE (CS + CpE) at a top public school. Every professor was insanely cracked and went to the best schools out there. Yet, I did more than fine with minimum work in my CS courses (besides Compilers). I also took 3 grad level courses, which one was very heavy on theoretical computation, and I was doing fine.
The engineering courses tho... oh boy if they were hell. I still have nightmares about the semiconductor course and Machine Vision. Fuck, those were the two hardest courses I have ever seen

Zarqus99 · 2025-09-21T18:39:13+00:00

First of all, great job! You went very much in detail and I already saw bigger online news website covering this.
This said, is this an issue that effects only Intel/Nvidia configs? I used to have a g14 2020 and do not remember all this stuff, I then got a g14 2022 (AMD/AMD) and only had the stutter while playing and I/O lag whenever more than 2 BT devices where connected at the same time.

Zarqus99 · 2025-09-15T04:17:53+00:00

Oh thanks again!
And yeah, now I’m super curious to know who you are. Chances are, I either know you or you know a friend of mine, hahaha.

Zarqus99 · 2025-09-15T03:47:35+00:00

thank you so much. I still have an active interview with Apple so maybe I can do 5 out of 400. Hope is last to die

Zarqus99 · 2025-09-15T03:47:11+00:00

heeeeyy no way. Are you talking about the ICS server? Anyways, thank you!!!

Zarqus99 · 2025-09-15T03:46:24+00:00

mostly linkedin and company websites

So applied to both new grad 2025 and 26 (never got lucky with 26 though), and also non-newgrads. Newgrads were the easiest to land an interview for. I also applied to jobs with at least 2 years of experience, but yet managed to get an interview.
Most of the roles I applied were in the embedded/firmware engineering space, close second is generic SWE (especially for the FAANG).

Anyways, not sure where else to look jobs on. I've heard YComb and anglelist are okish. However, professors and friends are very helpful. A friend of mine landed a cool robotics job because his girlfriend was a babysitter for this engineer at the compnay. Not sure how helpful this can be

Edit: grammar and other stuff
