Hello I am seriously considering changing my career from HW to Sw after 13 years of experience in Hw. I have interest in Machine learning AI Deep Learing. Any advice is appriciated. Any expected TC hit estimate would be well regarded. current Tc 280-300K
I am wondering why you even consider switching to SW with this TC. Most SW jobs cannot match it even at same yoe unless you work for Google and Facebook, where you will work for a boss much younger than you
We have tons of SW engineers at Mentor working on ML AI who earn much less than you.
We have great work life balance here. I think hw in general has better wlb because competition is less from young workers
Easy but probably a pay cut starting out
