      Regular engineering is still ok. Most of us didn’t get to WFH because we’re building physical things, and that hasn’t really changed.

      As both a regular engineer (electric/computer) and software engineer… The amount of interest I got as a regular engineer never even came remotely close to the deluge of recruitment attempts I regularly got during the pandemic, but it remains consistent. Even now that it has diminished a bit, it’s still far more.

      This is part of the reason I’m primarily a software developer now because I got recruited and got a huge pay bump, a way better lifestyle, and far better perks.

      Traditional engineering areas can’t be as easily automated. Certain aspects certainly can, but prototyping usually involves physical presence, as well as installation or testing.
