Where do you live that embedded systems folks cost more than a generic Python dev? Everywhere I've ever heard of, ES is on the low end of the pay scale for software. Python is usually in the middle somewhere. That's definitely true in Seattle as well.

Yeah, I don't know where they pulled the 350k figure from? And from the picture, they aren't using 2040s. They are using full on PI 4s

+1 unless you work for google or maybe nvidia embedded get paid less than fronted devs straight outta bootcamp. at least that was the case last time i looked at those roles a few years back.

350k is so out of touch. maybe in a decade when there are no embedded devs left. everyone I work with is 55+

It's certainly attainable in ES, but you have to be fairly far out on the bell curve even with a decent amount of seniority in a HCOL area. It's nowhere near an average salary even in silicon valley.
