What do you work with (if you don't mind answering)? I'm looking for a change and like low-level stuff about as much as I like any other level. I've done some cycle-accurate NES emulation and VM implementation stuff - I'm not much of a DSA guy but performance and efficiency appeal to me.

I work with pretty much everything (except GPUs I guess). Embedded is extremely relative. To some, embedded means a rack mount server that's idk embedded in a vehicle instead of a datacenter. That's not me. To others, embedded means a 4-bit low power, mask-rom fed micro inside a sensor IC. That's also not me.

So I work with microcontrollers of various vendors, I do FPGA with hard and soft processors, recently did just past the smoke test through embedded Linux on a SoC, and I've done plenty of desktop code on Linux and Windows for interfacing. I get to work with a wide range of devices and a wide range of tasks for them. Might not pay as much but my goodness is it fun
