Going from the IT sector to the automotive industry ?

Post

Hello!

In what areas does the automotive industry need IT people ?

I have always stayed close the farm, and stayed within the IT industry, but recently I have been thinking about getting a job at a car company.
But know why, just think it could be fun (Yes, I DO know of the current economical situation...)
The only way to close a stupid question is to give a smart answer

It depends what you do as an IT person.

Are you good with programming? You should be able to work with engineerson alomst everything that uses softwares etc..

I kind of doubt that now is the right time to try to find a job in the auto industry.
Things aren't going too well ;)

I agree with the other people here that you should rethink your decision because it will take a long time for the auto industry to recover and it's facing stiff competition globally. Why not shift to mobile programming and etc?
