I have a client in Florida looking for a EE that will also develop software to work on the devices they create and have manufactured. Pay is good, and they are willing to have someone that needs to learn some parts, but it is on the opposite side of the country from where you are at. The owners successfully sold two businesses for large sums and have financial resources most of us can only dream of having so they are not afraid to pay for quality. They are struggling because our area has some large employers that keep their EE's with Software experience very close and guarded so it is hard to pull them away.

If there is any interest you can send me an email and I will connect you. I have no decision making authority here nor do I get anything out of it monetarily, but we run their software development right now and have agreed to help them find someone that can bridge the hardware and software side like my team does for them now.

Thanks, I truly appreciate the offer, however right now I'm more committed to pursuing more of a pure software position as I feel there's so much to learn in that field. Had I known about embedded engineering in detail I'd probably have tried to get those jobs first immediately upon graduating.

I know I couldn't clarify because of HN's text limit, but I'm actually in the NYC tristate area, and the position in SF is for an internship at a very promising startup. I'd like to stay in NYC if possible because of family and friends, but I'll see how it goes.

Thanks again, and maybe sometime in the future after I've dabbled in the software industry I might consider embedded systems engineering and the like -- these posts have helped me realize that my EE background does not have to fade into the background at all.
