I find myself in a rather complicated situation. Recently, I relocated to the United States and managed to obtain an EAD/SSN. Back in my home country, I did not focus too heavily on building a career or gathering references. Now that I find myself in unfamiliar territory, it all seems a bit daunting. Although I have more than eight years of experience in web development - including some rather complex projects - my true passion lies in embedded development. It's something I've invested a significant amount of time into. In fact, I've even designed and manufactured various hardware products, complete from PCB design to manufacturing, which I sold to more than 50 countries through Tindie.com. Additionally, I've written custom firmware for various clients. However, since I did not complete my electrical engineering degree, it's proving rather challenging to convince companies to offer me a chance - even as a junior embedded tester/developer. I'm not quite young enough to start formal education once again as I aspire to start a family. This begs the question: Should I continue down the web development career path, which, although not my lifelong dream, is still an area where I have extensive experience? I'm well-versed in various technologies, mostly LAMP, but have also worked on smaller projects using ReactJS, VueJS, and NodeJS. Given my lack of experience and education, is there a chance that I can find work in the hardware development field? And, more importantly, how do I build my profile in this situation? These are the challenges I face, my friends, but I have faith that with perseverance and a little bit of luck, I can make it through. #jobs #career #careerbuilder #software #engineering
Hello. Find a company that does both software and hardware. Foot in the door with software experience, do really well, network, then it’s much easier to move to the hardware side. They won’t care as much about your education then. Amazon. Google. Square. Toast. Clover. As examples.
