Forget engineering and join legal. It's dynamic and creative, they are busy but well compensated. Cisco has developed this competency like no other company and this tells you a lot about the direction of the company - extract and protect is the mantra nowadays. Lawyers are not better than engineers, but here at Cisco they can thrive just because that's the game nowadays.

@f8 nah, they ("lawyers") don't do thorough background checks on former employees who file wrongful dismissal suits. You can be an literal convicted felon (true story) and they will give you 1/4 million $.
@f8 engineering? Hmmm
Where are the real P.Engs? Oh yes they just use the title of "engineer" (or even "architect") for fu-k sakes vs something less risky or a role title less protected. These fraudulent terms are hopefully deemed to be used unlawfully soon.
Let the actu engineers and architects be real engineers and architects. Use different terms - designer? coordinator? developer? None of these examples are protected titles.
(Almost all actual ones do not work in tech nor for companies encouraging the fraudulent use of these terms.)
What's next, a software "doctors" ?
sure, go back in time and get a law degree instead of engineering or computer science. Those roles, personalities, and degree plans are so similar, just do a little switch-a-roo.
