Industry is firmly in C/C++ land and I'm trying to pivot towards a more embedded career, which would put me in more junior jobs without the political sway to say "lets try embedded rust and contribute back".

There's a couple forward thinking companies like memfault, but it seems to be the minority.

My degree was in CE so I've always played around with embedded projects, but actual design skills have stagnated from being in my field, which trends towards only developing smaller purpose built tools for internal use over products.
