I am considering a career change after many years in embedded C diagnostics and hardware verification. I have had some exposure to C++ and other various scripting languages. The biggest reason for the change is job demand is low with outsourcing and all.
Considering Android Development for one reason it looks like it could be interesting and its developing software for hardware which isn't that much different from what I was doing accept it wasn't apps for the platform it was diagnosing and verifying new hardware designs.
I do know it will be alot of catch up with current developers, but I wanted some opinions on after I do due diligence and learn the basics....how difficult would it be to break into an entry to junior position. I do know there are many variables...one being location dependent. I am in the Boston area so it seems there are many Sr Developer positions available.
Welcome all feedback, opinions and advice.
