Re: Need advice: want to enter the Embedded field

Pete,

You said some very profound things. I STRONGLY agree:

Employers look at an MBA and assume three things -
(1) you've got your eyes on the boardroom rather than the lab, and will
job-hop to get there.
(2) you've got heavy salary demands
(3) your focus is on getting out of engineering and into management ASAP.
....
you can't fake an interest in this kind of work
....
if you had a passion, you'd be doing something in the field already in
your own time - there are plenty of cheap eval boards and cheap or free
toolchains; what have you *built*? - what do you have that can
demonstrate your "passion".
