jobs opportunity and average salaries in analog vs digital .

[sagar474]

I need to know to go for analog or digital design.
i think there is huge competition in digital jobs and low salaries.

It depends on what you have a talent for. For analog you need a more intuitive feel for the math and know when to trust your tools and when not to. For digital you have to trust your tools because you will go mad actually doing the math yourself. For analog you have to do more hands on testing because the data you need is often not available from manufacturers. Analog technology advances more slowly than digital so you will develop your favorite tools and methods and use and refine them for years, verses weeks or months for digital stuff.

Solving 3 equations for 3 unknowns is math.
Solving 3 equations for 4 unknowns and 2 never-will-be-knowns is the art of Engineering.

what about competition and salaries.

Really good engineers are always in demand and will be well paid whichever field you choose. If you don't have the talent to be really good there may be better job security in digital if you keep up with the latest software tools. Any decent engineering job will provide for you and your family. If you want to get rich do something useless like banking or sports!

I agree with you guys. but I need money not to become rich but to conduct my experiments.

Really good engineers are always in demand and will be well paid whichever field you choose.

I enjoy working with really good engineers.

If you want to make good money , you have to be good and dedicated in ANY engineering. If you want to make good money and have time to fool around you go for management position.
If you want to be highly paid analog or digital designer you will have to live it - it's not job you do for 8 hours and go home forgetting about it. You will work your butt off. Trust me. And after all that you will be tired and upset that you manager goes home early and makes more. S
So if you want to do it for $$$ you will fail - regardless how smart you are.
The fact you are deciding if you should go analog or digital tells me you have no clue what any of this is about. I might be wrong though and you are excellent in both. In that case do both and market yourself as mixed signal engineer and those are paid quite well!
Don't want to offend you in any way - I just saw too many to crash and burn.... i think analog is great!
