Hi all,
Has anyone successfully transitioned from firmware to software without starting at entry level ? All the interesting work I want to do seems to be higher up the stack. What type of positions will have transferable knowledge so I’m not starting from scratch? What’s the best approach to this? I was thinking finding a software position at my current company would be the best route but i want to get out ASAP as they are very low paying.
TC: 95k, 3 yoe

As an unhelpful observation, SWEs with EECS degrees who write infrastructure in C/C++ at FAANG are usually on the most elite teams. I wonder why they pay you firmware folks peanuts.
