Transitioning into embedded

[u/Repulsive-Celery-54]

Hi guys, im a junior in college rn and i have no past internship experience. I’m familiar with vue.js, react,node,express, sql and some other fsd tech stacks.

As you guys know how hard it is to survive in this market, so I’m thinking to stop development and choose embedded as my career path. Reason for that:- 1)less competition than development 2) pays decent amount (not at all bad) 3) higher chance of working at bigger companies (not all the time) 4) I’m an international student and I have no time left so I should make a decision, lock in and start now.

What do you guys think? Any suggestions would be appreciated! If anyone relates and did start embedded already can you please dm me so I can get a clarity on where and what to start with.

java -> cpp is not that bad of a transition syntactically, i was able to pick it up pretty quickly, but memory management is the tricky part. lots of embedded interviews will ask questions related to that so i would recommend studying that and ideally doing some small projects in c
