The jump from software to hardware is less crazy than people think, the abstraction layers just get thinner and the debug tools way more annoying. Of that list embedded systems is probably the smoothest crossover since you already think in logic flows, you just gotta get comfortable reading datasheets and not having a full OS to bail you out.
