Hello everyone,
I am a developer with 3+ years of experience with full stack technology so mostly .Net and React along with some side projects in other languages. I wanted to ask if anyone has had any luck moving from high-end projects, to lower end projects(C++). I’ve become extremely interested in lower level projects like, embedded programming, firmware, drivers, compatibility layers but I don’t have any professional experience in those fields.
I understand that projects like these are high priority so they are less interested in taking a risk for a Dev without professional experience in C, C++, or Rust, even if they liked the candidate. I just wanted some insight
You’re early enough in your career that going for a junior position in a company that does that sort of work should be easy enough. You could also do some solo projects and display on GitHub if you want to get an intermediate level position.
