| Throughout this process, continuously filter resources by asking: | ||
|
|
||
| - **"What specific problem am I trying to solve right now?"** Are you aiming for conceptual understanding, practical application, or advanced solutions? |

I really like this question to clarify a learning goal! I feel like a lot of readers will find this very helpful
|
|
||
| **Continuous improvement** isn't optional; it's essential. Focus on deeply learning the basics and core concepts of your chosen area—this builds a truly strong foundation. | ||
|
|
||
| Also, actively track **job market requirements** and industry trends. This means understanding the specific skills companies are hiring for, not just chasing every new technology. Aligning your learning with these trends directly impacts your career progression. |

Do you have any suggestions for where to look for job market requirements? Would you say that looking at job descriptions (e.g. on LinkedIn) is the best option, or have you found any better sites for this info?

| ## How to Use This Roadmap Effectively |

What do you think of structuring this section with subheadings instead of bullet points? I think that might help readers navigate the material better. Additionally, I think an extra sub section could be Key questions to stay on track or similar for the questions at the end of this overall section

| My own experience with this roadmap shows a key truth about career growth: it’s a mix of **independent learning** and **collaboration**. |

You mention collaboration here but it hasn't come up yet. I'm wondering if you could recommend some ways to build community around learning. Here's a few I'm thinking of:
- Crowd source some learning materials from the people you work with who might be more experienced in the topic you're focusing on
- If your company has a lunch and learn structure, consider sharing what you've learned
- Discuss interesting findings or questions in online communities, such as the Interrupt slack
The last one is selfish, of course! We're always encouraging folks to share what they are learning in that community space
Applied all necessary edits and added a walkthrough section on Testing in embedded systems. :)
