Hardware jobs are stagnating. If I stayed at my current job for another five years, the kind of work for my title wouldn't be much different. It's not challenging enough. And certainly not very exciting. I'd like to learn from those of you who have made successful a transition out of hardware. That would mean a more satisfying job and better pay. 5 yoe, 130k TC
No. I'm considering moving there.
Same question here
Well. I think the real question is whether that is what you are really good at and whether you can compete with those people who start their career in software major back in college. Hardware salary is lower than software but you can go to company like apple who pay similar salary compared to SWE. You can still work in hardware in your 50s/60s but not sure about software...
are you in Bay area?
