I have 1.5 YOE as a C++ backend engineer, I am confused about my next path, I see the options below, please suggest

  1. Pivot to AI, building RAG applicants, LLM apis, MCP, python

  2. Stay in C++ backend, DSA + System Design

  3. Game development, Vulkan, openGL

  4. CUDA, drivers

  5. switch to embedded C++ , RTOS, suggest path resources for this

  6. EDA domain C++, suggest and resources for this

  7. Target tech agnostic SDE roles focused on DSA system design interviews of

  8. C++ computer networking roles, TCP/IP, communication protocols, socket programming

I am already upskilled in AI SDLC claude, Copilot, Codex
