For jobs, software development doesn’t necessarily have an advantage. Yes, they have more job openings but they also have significantly more competition .
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.
Yep I agree. New people dont just want to get into web dev for the fear of abstraction by AI since most of them are frontend guys, not saying AI is finishing SW development . But imo now complex software systems engineer might be required as mainstream. Like Linux kernel , embedded systems , or take creative stuff like game dev. Gone are the days when every non interested person in this field could just barge into web dev. Again no hate to passionate web devs out there. Those who know their thing are great and those with a passion should continue it
I’m curious about the demand for international students in job positions like TPU and SoC design, especially in U.S. semiconductor companies that use Verilog. Are there visa sponsorship opportunities in this field? I'm particularly interested in AI chips and considering pursuing a master’s degree in the U.S. in this area. Initially, I was going to focus on the CS branch (software engineering, ML, data engineering) for broader opportunities, but I’ve heard that it's becoming difficult to find jobs in the software field due to market saturation. My undergraduate major is electrical engineering, and I’d like to pursue a career in hardware in the U.S., but I don't have much information. Is it still more advantageous for foreigners without U.S. citizenship to focus on software rather than hardware?
I want to work as a hardware engineer / embedded engineer, but i'm from argentina and the first job is so important, we don't have a good market here for Electrical Engineers (20 open positions for FPGA, DSP, etc engineers) vs 4000 open positions for software engineers :(((
tambien soy de argentina, y pienso lo mismo, hay poquitas empresas de semiconductores(allegro msystems), aunque hay mucho de automatizacion industrial. Creo que si uno quiere irse por el lado de Computer Hardware, tocará irse del pais.
I am studying hardware and I don't know programming so I chose hardware and I wanted to ask some queries about it I think you know about it please contact me Give me any id and hope to reply😊❤😊😊😊
I have a feeling that hardware is going to be in more demand than software soon. AI is ripping knowledge work to shreds, especially software. AI will definitely be a major tool in hardware, however AI can't "create" hardware yet, it can however "create" software. Plus with all of the new capabilities AI will bring, there are gonna be a whole lot of new robots and hardware systems to design and create in order to take full advantage of AI.
I agree. We will need more electrical engineers that can grasph complex systems and integrate them with electronic circuits and communication systems. I think that electrical engineer with AI/ML knowledge will be powerfull
Sir I am doing computer engg polytechnic (diploma). After that I will do btech. So which one should I buy Macbook or windows??? Or this field is actually good or not?
AI is not peak of computer development. There are complex systems like Linux kernel and low level stuff that cant be just built by mere prompting. And AI cant create unique new software like UNIX or something which needs idea from scratch
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
I am an incoming first year, taking a computer engineering course. I decided to take computer engineering because I believe that 4 years from now(by the time I graduate) software roles would not be as dominant in the industry as it is today. There would be more hardware/both hw and sw roles than today and the pay would also be better or even at the same level as the software roles of today. Do you also think that this will be the case? or do you think software will still be dominant in 4 years from now?
Just so everyone’s aware also. Doing a major in hardware vs software does not determine your entire life and leave off any other aspects. Many hardware engineers know elementary code and go onto do coding projects and work in software. Posts of software engineers can go into product and project management of hardware or the logistical side of it. And getting a second degree is much easier later in life once you have enough income to splurge a lot of us honestly just want our first paycheck in a relatively interesting field
Im Interested in doing both Hardware and Software engineering, I personally would like to work as self employed, but I dont know if it's possible working as a freelancer as a hardware engineering because maybe I should be in a laboratory, what do you think about that?
Hi , thankyou for the info , i am from india , so for getting into hardware engineering which should i take , electronics and communication or electronics and electrical engineering
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 would highly suggest to take computer engineering route. If you wouldnt gradute from CS, I would say Electrical engineering 100%. But from what I know about CS. You should graduate from ECE to easily start masters in EE. It is doable with CS background but you will have to understand physics and circuit theory. My advice is to go with computer engineering and try to specialize close to electronics. But you can definetly do it, It will be just little bit harder to grasph bachelors EE. Good luck!
Depends a lot on skill and talent like if your a really good artist then go for painting but if your good at coding and computer stuff then SW is the way to go

Hey Abhishek, nice vid. I have a bachelor's in computer science, but I recently got interested in hardware. Is it possible to switch to computer engineering and possibly get a masters in computer engineering? If so, how could I prepare?
I personally finished computer science and am doing a computer engineering bachelors. Because of overlap with CS you can cut 1-2 years off your degree. I will say spend time learning the fundamentals and getting your maths skills up. EEE has extremely challenging math which is leagues harder than CS undergrad math.

Yea you could do a coding bootcamp and self-study, maybe get some internship experience or work at smaller companies before aiming for big tech companies. It’s certainly possible just requires hard work!
I'll put more value to someone who writes code that runs the airbag system in my vehicle than someone who writes code for the next "social media" app
Sadly the pay does not reflect that

How to become a Hardware Engineer? What degrees & path ? 🤩🖤
study electrical engineering undergrd and concentrate in Computers and Integrated Circuits
Computer engineering is a perfect degree
@@ale4462 would embedded systems be appropriate?

I'm in my first year in Computer Engineering too, but mine is 5 years long. haha And I agree with you on the income thing.
I enjoy hardware way more but unfortunately pays less.
A hardware engineer makes around 120k a year, in the US. A software engineer makes around 130k. That's not a big difference.
Hi bro can i contact with u im studying hardware so plz kindly reply 🙂❤️ sorry for bad English
@@Rahul-qc7tp Yes, sure
Its very easy; do what you find most interesting. Thats what youll be best at in the long term

add which has more stress??
make more videos,,,,,,,, PLEASE
What's the difference between computer science major and computer engineering major?
Computer engineering has more low level sw and hardware design coursework
I need guidance man, I’m almost down with my EE degree
Get a masters
can u share the hardware interview questions that will help more😍 thank you
is computer hardware engineer different to computer architect?
Im Interested in doing both Hardware and Software engineering, I personally would like to work as self employed, but I dont know if it's possible working as a freelancer as a hardware engineering because maybe I should be in a laboratory, what do you think about that?
Yes freelance hardware engineering is tough (if possible at all). Lot of startup costs and such, maybe you could be consultant for hw company
Please tell me how can u get this job bro???
Bro please do a video on your job journey please
