Good on you for recognizing what you enjoy and going for it.

I like hardware, always have :).

FWIW, I’ve done embedded at multiple mag 7 companies, and if levels.fyi is to be believed I’m getting paid the same as my peers doing other types of software. There are certainly places that don’t do this though (I hear the defense industry is notorious for this).

The point about the tooling being ghetto is spot on though, that’s part of why Rust is so exciting for us. A package manager?! What is this magic!!!
