What kind of role are you in now? I'm curious as I work with a lot of embedded devs but see that most of the salary money is flowing towards AI (very unclear what many of these roles actually are) and its less sexy but more concrete counterpart of cloud devops

The embedded work was just for an internship at Nokia/Bell Labs. I work at the place where I did my second internship; started doing ML engineering then pivoted to more data engineering work.

You're right about embedded though. Most telecom hardware is a race to the bottom and there were a lot of layoffs at Nokia when I was there.

Yea thanks for the reply. Glad everything worked out for you, sounds like you had a solid plan from the get go and executed well

Thanks! It was risky quitting to go to school full time but having professional work experience helped a lot to manage myself.

I'm actually considering doing something similar...would love to have a quick chat if you have time, my email is murdock.roy@gmail.com - thanks.
