Would you have any advice on getting started in the IoT space?

- Learn C (as unfashionable as it sounds... its a market reality).

- Learn about comms protocols, IP, CoAP, MQTT, UDP, etc, etc

- Learn about driving hardware.

- Learn about bare-metal programming.

- Learn Cortex-M

- Stay away from raspberry pi and arduinos in order to get properly marketable skills (real devices tend to use Cortex-M).

- Stay away from anything with Python or JS on a micro... again... market realities.
