“Pursuing a career in embedded systems”
What Actually Happened
I'm a final-year Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering student from India, planning to pursue a career in embedded systems. I'm building skills in Embedded C, ARM/STM32 microcontrollers, basic RTOS concepts, and Linux fundamentals. I've completed internships related to embedded/hardware and am working on improving my practical project portfolio. I'm feeling a bit confused about the right direction and would appreciate guidance on various aspects of my career.
What I wish I knew
