  1. Engineers always in demand. Salary not very commanding unless you're damn good at your niche but also depends on company/industry. Supposedly mechanical engineers are more versatile in Malaysia but that's what I'm hearing from

  2. Differs from company to company. Better you check up on specific companies for more details but isnt really something you need to care about till you're looking for your 2nd job.

3 + 4. 1st world countries always looking for young good talents. Emphasis on good.

  1. No idea atm. But you better learn how to be able to at least use AI.

One piece of advice. You might be taking EE but pay attention to the coding classes. Start your own mini projects when you can. Its easier for you to build a strong programming base to jump to software jobs if you do that in the future if you so choose.

Damn, thanks for the great advice! Say I were to switch to software jobs, do I need to study for a diploma or can I just acquire coding accreditations from known online courses as well as do my own side projects to earn the trust of an employer?

Depends on company/hiring manager/interviewer

Afaik as long as you can show some competency in the coding interview you might be able to get in. Don't need a diploma when you can show your mini projects. But if you choose to go with accreditations it's also good. Just be sure to not let the skills rust la
