EE here with some spaghetti code knowledge. Being on blind is making me realize that I am living in TC poverty. Going on job sites seems to show that all the jobs and TC are heavily favoring SW skills nowadays. Can I get high TC doing EE? Or am i delusional? Would like to know the best way to break into the SW field (and maybe tech). Lots of hype, TC, opportunities in the web dev world. Seems like it would be easy to take this route into SW. Or is there a better way. Should i just leetcode hard mode, cracking the coding interview and grokk till i want to throw up and then interview at a god tier company like Albertsons? Srsly, any suggestions are welcome.
Leetcode will help with interviews, but if your code is messy that's going to cost you offers. Read a few books like Clean Code and Clean Architecture, they'll help.
I think G and Apple can pay well for hardware
Do you like doing hardware? If so you can try to get competing offers at Apple/G/FB to improve your TC. If you don't like hardware, then switching to SW might be the right move.
Yes
