Hi, I am looking for suggestions on how to switch domain from embedded firmware (primarily C experience) to mainstream software development (full stack, web services etc). 4+ yoe in embedded firmware, comfortable with algorithms, familiar with Java but no professional experience. Is it even possible to switch ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you guys!
Switch from c to c++ before jumping to Java?
Apply at Bloomberg as a gateway company. I know this douche who used to do embedded and now whines all the time how he hates using the heap. Probably unemployable elsewhere, highly valued here. 🤷🏻♂️
Why don’t you go to system level or lowerish level programming instead? Your knowledge of embedded will be a plus.
Op any updates? I’m in the same boat. Feeling lost. Don’t know how to get out. It just happened that I landed an embedded role as my starting job, but I don’t really want to work in this field.
M in same boat.
The recruiters in other companies directly push my profile to their device teams!!

I had to contract first to get a year of experience. I contracted as SDE at MSFT before switching to full time.
