A lot of experience, but still super noob at java? Pre-sales!


Not happy? The boss can just post a "task" at freelancers and pay half the price.
want to give some encouragement to my fellow junior.

Among all the engineering discipline, i think i made the right choice doing embedded software, aka firmware. Why?

my division is closing down by this year end, we are told to look for job, and bosses actually help a lot as part of the outplacement support. my division is a R&D division there are ME and EE engineers total about 40++ engineers, while among 13 of the firmware engineers, 9 of us already found a job within 1.5 months .. but the other discipline is ..hmmm not so easy..

hope you put faith in our profession, if computing is not the future engineering, bio?
