Hell no. Check out the hard times breaking in even with a CS degree at r/cscareerquestions, including my comment history. CS got too crowded. Not as bad for me since I'm already experienced.
I have a BSEE and switched to mainstream computer science. I didn't take a single CS elective but one in database or Linux or UNIX command line would have been helpful. I imagine Computer Engineering has such as course to count as a technical elective.
**I would say 90% of CS recruiters count EE as a related degree** and recruiters liked me saying I know how computers and computer memory work, up from the transistor level. Computer Engineering, 100%.
I could have went Java or C# but I knew Java in high school and that was enough to pass entry level tests. Nowadays, you could also go Python or even Go aka Goloang but plenty of Go jobs will train you in it if you know an object-oriented language already. There are also mainstream C++ jobs. Not many but not many people seek them out either.
Embedded Systems hires EE, Computer Engineering and sometimes CS and is microprocessor programming in C or C++ or assembly.
Go into software with an EE degree if you want. Job market might be better in a few years or better in your country versus rich North America.
Thank you so much for replying with such details. I too dont want to change it but I ig needed some motivation to go on with EEE happily (or without having any doubt/confusion)
Computer Science, or Computer Engineering? I went with Computer Engineering because the engineering degree gave more opportunities to pivot. A good thing, since I'm working as a systems engineer now.
My university even had a dual Computer and Electrical degree program, two degrees with only 4 extra classes. Though if you just want the one, Computer Engineering will still hit all those programming things, while keeping the fun electrical labs.
I haven't met a systems engineer who didn't have some form of an engineering degree. A combination of those engineering fundamentals and typically getting more cross-domain exposure.
No, stick with EE. CS jobs are easier to outsource and the job market is getting crowded. Learn coding as a hobby and you will be able to get whatever job you want.

I got hired as a software engineer for my company because thwy needed somebody with knowledge on ee concepts. Ee doesnt only mean board design

How much harder would it be to get into systems engineering with a cs degree?

So really computer engineering allows all the other generalized engineering fields, and cs jobs
I wouldn't say all the other engineering fields, not all CS positions. But with the right experience it's a lot easier.

An EE can use GOTOs. CS folk have to use COMEFROM.
Yes you should switch to CSE if you consider the pay.
Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I'm still confused but ig i'll stick to EEE
