And the following may be very blunt but it is just my personal opinion. So hopefully you will not get upset. Why? What is your background? Did you have an engineering related diploma or better degree? Have you worked as an electronics engineer before? The age may play a big part as well. If you are still young, then you will get better chances since people may give you time to learn. > So far, I have picked up on embedded engineering on my own, > with the aid of excellent microcontroller communities like this one. > http://www.jasonhsu.com/swrwatt.html I think this may make it difficult for you to be employed as an embedded (firmware) engineer. I think you may have some good background in analog electronics, so maybe an electronics design engineer job (mainly hardware, maybe some simple firmware) might be more suitable. I have done a few PIC firmware designs, using C and ASM, with several hundred thousands of product running in the field (industrial automation). I am familiar with Microchip PICs and tools related to PIC. But I think I am not qualified as an embedded engineer... -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
