I know, it's akin to other programming degrees. Granted that I start this one (two years, practical with placements once a year) then I feel fairly confident in that I will do the majority of my learning outside of school.

But again -- is the job market as "dead"? All devs I know (that don't do embedded) have warned of the shitty job market rn. I was imagining that embedded wouldn't be as crowded, which is why I applied. Now I got accepted and would like to know if the hiring of junior embedded devs is not as rare as other devs.

    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.
