Career as an embedded engineer

Hi I'm 28(m) and I'm curious to know is a career as an embedded engineer just Arduino in steroids. Is it just programming or are you also building the hardware. Is it possible to get into this field. I have a degree in biochemical engineering and the only programming I did was in Matlab. I've played around with Arduino and have enjoyed it. I'm currently learning programming. Is it worth pivoting into this field or is it simply not possible.

Interview prep

I'm 28 and I've just started my career as a systems engineer doing a placement as part of a grad scheme with the uk ministry of defence. I have an interview with a private defence company for a system engineering role. I'm just starting out and I've built engineering models thus far and have done research studies into the types of systems we want to Intergrate into our process. These aren't software systems more hardware equipment. I'm not sure if this even counts but I've also done requirements gathering from stakeholders and have done validation and verification procedures for models. Any advice on how I should prepare and what is something good to say and ask would be helpful.

Project ideas

I'm in tutorial hell atm. I've learnt Python on different platforms although this time seems different. Currently learning on boot.dev. what are some basic projects I can do to start improving my software engineering skills and problem solving. I've followed the freecodecamp Python projects and learnt nothing. Please any ideas would be welcome.

I've always was curious about programming and started learning it after I went to university. I've done so many courses on Python syntax but never really understood how to build things. I'm currently learning via Boot.dev and am really enjoying it and I'm actually building projects. But I want to know if it's realistic to see if I can land a job in software engineering at somewhere like microsoft. I've been out of work for a year and have interviews lined up as a systems engineer but my heart is at software engineering. I don't mind putting in the work and I don't mind how long it takes preferably within the next 5 years tho. If I build projects will that be enough to get me a job as a software engineer
