>>12281900I mean this goes both ways. When I started working as an engineer at a lab after CS BSc, I worked on a huge antenna tower. The work was a heavy mix of software and hardware integration, and of course, classic EE topics. My interests and work slowly veered towards RF, control, and the more EE side, and I just learned it by myself from a combination of
>reading books on the subject>doing the work on online teacher webpages>giving myself projects to do>tinkering around myself You will lose out on some job opportunities initially on the EE side, but most labs are interdisciplinary, don’t give a fuck about where you start, and always have a job that gives you experience on multiple fronts. I broke into industry in EE after getting a masters in it (with only 1 year remedial, 1 year masters at full time) 6ish years into my career, luckily due to some great recommendations and experiences.
Point is that you can pivot to whatever you want, but you need to make the right moves. If you’re in CS and want to do other fields, there absolutely is a well known pipeline to get into it.
