Hola!
Hello everyone! This is my first post and first electronics forum I joined. The reason for joining is seeking pro help and learning the career path better.
I am under 30 yo and have MSc in electronics (Mostly Circuit design and IC). However, this career path hasn't favored me much on job market. Studies were completed with little motivation but diploma achieved anyway. Reasons for lack of motivation were several, but mostly for bad sight of industry field. Lack of work has put me into thinking more about the increasing demands of the job market and my personal own interests.
So I decided to use my time learning how to code C/C++ on my own time. I have always been interested in computers, however I haven't done any coding (besides the couple of _small_ courses in C, Assembly). Now I am reading a book about C++.
I know this is mostly electronics forum and that I am not going to be world class coder (because of high starting age). However, I would like to make reasonable move towards coding. That's why I am thinking moving into embedded software design because of my past. l I have my interests in logic, puzzles and games. Because the C++ book is good and I am interested in it, I would like to use C++ for coding something small.
Any advices/thoughts how reasanoble this move is, career advice etc. ? How about moving from embedded to PC/serverside?
All advices, experiences are welcomed. Thanks uprfront!
