Seriously capped as a firmware guy even in FANG.
I think all in our team are SDE2 to 3 because of demand and supply. What should I learn to move away from C and Verilog and go into things like AI or those in demand roles, like dockers?
TC 225k, 20 YOE, storage and networking firmware.

Thereโs some amount of commoditization going on in the h/w business because all the value is being eaten up by software / ad firms and h/w is a race towards higher performance and lower prices but how does that translate to firmware guys being paid less than regular front end SWEs?
How long did it take you? Any suggestion on which class in which order?
What kind of TC before and after the switch?
Pass ds/algo interviews, study architecture blogs and system design posts like mad, you should be fine
