I use Yahoo! IM simply because a large number of my friends and contacts are on Yahoo!. That seems to be the #1 reason people go with an IM client. I also like the fact that I can log on as invisible- as I don't like it when people use IM to keep track of where I am.
You haven't really been specific enough for me to answer this question as well as I would like to. But I'll try anyways....
So if you've been offered a system engineering role after working in software, my guess is that it could be
1) a software-integration role. This possibly implies putting together different parts and making sure they work with one another.
OR
2) a role that requires you to take customer requirements and translate them into code.
In terms of compensation, I think it will be better. Also there will be more of such jobs in the future with the actual code writing being done in Bangalore or wherever.
I would however take it upon myself to stay in touch with coding either on company time or on my own time. The onus will be on you to stay current so that you can understand what is going on at the so called 'lower level'.
but unless you have prior work experience- SENIOR might be way beyond your abilities. Also unless you're interested in working for a govt. research lab or as an RA in a University, your job will have little to do with computer science and more to do with code implementation, design and project management.
So in summary you should be looking for an entry level position in the above.
good luck
Well, you really can't have a front end with infinite bandwidth or even covering all the frequency ranges they specify. There are practical limitations on the front-end amplifier.
This board is intended for baseband processing about 6 MHz of BW.
There is an absolute bargain here. Take a look at similar offerings from ICS (www.ics-ltd.com) and altera (www.altera.com). i would've liked to see more SRAM on this board though.
Thanks for your responses...

To be more specific, I have specialised in the area of wireless systems optimising high data rate systems at the physical layer. I also have experience in industry designing wireless products for a well-known company in North America. I am basically a 'radio-subsystem-guy'.
I am also currently employed in what many here would consider a low paying job (making wages that are below industry standard for those interested in knowing). But I digress.
My purpose in asking this question was to get an idea of what people with PhD's are doing these days. Is academia the preferred route these days or are EE's finding industry at the forefront of technology?
As one poster said.. shouldn't I have thought about this before doing a PhD? The answer is NO.
I did a PhD for the love of it, not because the market told me to do so. A PhD is never "SET FOR LIFE". Just like anybody else, we simply look for what challenges us most. Money is never the reason for doing a PhD. No one in their right mind would think of a PhD as a licence to print money.
thank you and I look forward to your responses.

Zigbee is for low data rate- larger range. Bluetooth is high data rate- low range. like comparing Apples and Oranges.

This is 'Ask Slashdot' isn't it? And this is definitely more postworthy than the recent spell of inane google posts. Chill out..............
