Hi,
I am writing this to get advice on something different here.
I am entry level Electrical Engineer, with LabVIEW experience of one year, CLAD and CTD. Passionate about LabVIEW and NI stuff. Recently had a layoff issue and luckily ended up with two opportunities of becoming LV Programmer with Alliance partener or PLC Programmer (doing reverse engineering for legacy system - later on involved in new system development).
I have a confusion with right career choice,
Option 1. LabVIEW Programmer
Less no. of people with this skillset so maybe higher pay, Comparatively Less Jobs, Continuing my intermediate level to more experience level, Following my passion for LabVIEW, Super-specialization - not diverse profile.
Option 2. PLC Programmer
More no. of people with this skillset so relatively lower pay, Many many jobs, Adding new skill to my profile in addition to LabVIEW, learning new things so will be interesting, Diverse profile - in future I can compare PAC vs PLC in better way.
As I said I am recent graduate and confused at moment, I would ask for a help from seniors, experienced. Correct/add any points I mentioned above.
Thanks in advance.
