Hey, not sure where to post this but I’ll give it a try.

I’ve changed jobs many times due to the economics of the construction sector in Sweden going to shit. So now I’m all but ready to change my career.

Would it be wise to get a 2 yr degree and start over as an embedded dev? Other programming jobs have been scarce and I wonder if that applies even for embedded.

Thanks :)

    I guess it depends on the location. In Ukraine you could probably change jobs every six months and still have people wishing to hire you.

        You’ll be a middle software developer in six months, switching jobs at this point will get your salary increase by 30%

            I guess you just need to know the right people. The whiteboard interview process has been broken for many years, yet no one wants to fix it, because it favors companies and gives recruiters plausible deniability. For me it was either getting hired on the spot after submitting CV and meeting the project manager, or rounds of useless interviews with 100% rejection at the end.
