That's kind of scary as it's exactly what I did. Same course, same country, same time :)

I'd agree with the embedded side though. The business side is a shit sandwich I really wish I hadn't got into.

I'm honestly comforted to see this being a common thing among posters here. And I agree, as I look into my company's chain it just gets more business focused the higher you go, and that's not what I became an engineer to be.

When I make the switch, I'll be sure to not let my RF/EE background fade to the background, as I believe it can be a strong asset.

It will be an asset. The most successful team in my company is built out of mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and mathematicians.
