    These are the exact points I have been considering while choosing between HW or SW as a major, I have seen first hand how desperate CS majors are during these times trying to find an intern it's quite sad, and the layoffs affecting not only Jr. but Senior SDEs as well isn't assuring. But checking online and the current demand of what is expected to trend and will be needed is still software or at least data scientists, cyber security, cloud related roles from what I can see. I definitely wouldn't encourage anyone going into web design. Hardware is taking off, and with A.I. I see more investments into things like robotics, chips, and vehicles it's making me think a lot. The other option is to become a HW Engineer and work for a SW Company, or become a SW Engineer and work for a HW company. This can also balance out what folks might be looking for, there are definitely more Software opportunities than Hardware last time I checked online and LinkedIn. Still Researching, good video.

    I'm currently finishing my bachelors in Computer Science, but I'm thinking I want to work closer to the hardware side. Do you think I can transition to Hardware Engineer if I say get a masters in Electrical Engineering or would I need a bachelors instead since a masters is only a smaller time frame & might not cover what a bachelors would?

    I am interested in operating systems, device drivers, systems programming. At the same time, I like computer architecture, FPGA programming using High Level Synthesis (HLS). I felt that I didn't like Verilog/VHDL, AI and ML stuff. What kind of companies/jobs should I focus on for a long term career ? (e.g. firmware engineer profile at Hardware engineering company OR systems software profile at Software Company?).
    This video was really helpful and since I am interested in Computer Architecture and Systems Software, I am still a bit confused as to what to pick :|
    Your perspective will greatly help me. Thanks in advance :)

      I think the big hardware companies (Apple, Nvidia, google) will have roles you are looking for. Wouldn’t worry so much about the company, refine your skills, apply to all of them and see what happens

    For jobs, software development doesn’t necessarily have an advantage. Yes, they have more job openings but they also have significantly more competition .
