    I’m an embedded software developer, I WFH since pandemic and in my basement I set up a small desk with power supply, soldering iron, oscilloscope, etc so I can continue to work with HW that company send me, it’s the best :) I never want to commute 2h again

      Any tips on breaking into that kind of industry? It is a dream of mine to be an embedded software developer but my skills are very hobby-level and I don’t have a degree or anything.

        I’ve worked with a couple “senior technicians” (companies will probably be goofy with titles without a degree) who were indistinguishable from some of the software engineers, other than the title. Some were hired off the bat as a software technician, and other started on the hardware test side and moved over.
