I have been contemplating moving from a hardware role to software, and would appericiate some advice.
A little about myself: I do hardware development for Apple in a pretty niche area and make decent money for my work experience (~240k TC with 4 yrs work experience). Lately I've been feeling burned out and dissatisfied by my job. I don't enjoy the nature of my work, and feel I could do something of better value.
I did a couple of CS related Coursera courses and felt I would enjoy this as work. I also did a fair bit of programming during undergrad/grad school (EE major), however haven't done anything significant since then?
How do I go about transitioning to Software full time? The job I'm currently doing (board level analog circuit design) is pretty much so removed from CS that I don't think I can transition in a gradual manner, within the framework of my existing job.
I also have enrolled for Georgia Tech's online MS in CS, not sure if this is the right way to go.
I don't mind taking a pay cut for an year or two as long as I can get to my existing salary quickly.
Would really appreciate any guidance the Blind community can provide!
