@lupyuen I can tell you as someone who does a lot of hiring, I would never hire an embedded programmer who didnt know assembly even if we didnt code primarily in assembly.

@freemo @lupyuen

It helps to know what the machine is doing, but it really depends on the situation.

These days with the wide diversity of languages and hardware and rapidity of change and scarcity of talent, unless you're hiring for a one-off, you look for someone who can quickly *learn* what you need, not necessary someone who already knows it.

@Pat

If someone can quickly learn, has been in embedded tech for a while, and is a good coder, then I suspect they already would have learned on their own.

If you are new I might see it.

Or someone switching to a different architecture. Or someone who is more on the hardware side and wants to do more s/w, etc...
