Yes.
I've done all.
Right now, and probably until I retire, I work for a great company.
Won't say which but, for an embedded systems engineer, it's about the best company one can work for.

I won't go far as to say I've been lucky -- 100 hour weeks have helped.
I won't go so far as to recommend the path I've taken to young people -- those 100 hour weeks can kill you.
Stay in school kids, then you can do it with only 80 hour weeks....
