From a researcher: what is the job market for compiler-writters?

Hello,

As only doing research in academic (working on IR), I have no idea of
what is going on in industry, and what is in demand. Answering any of
the following questions would be very helpful!!
1>I wonder what is the job market for compiler writters?
- from www.compilerjobs.com, I see only Embedded/media processor is
creating job openings..?
- how competitive it is to get such a job?
- what is the sort of skills in compiler is in demand?
- Code generation, code optimization?

2> Compiler writters, are you feel happy with what you are doing? What
is looks like to persue a career in compiler?

3>What is the future job propective for Embedded processor's compiler?
Will all the compiler jobs be out-sourced to india and china, like
other embedded programming jobs?
4> It seems that lots of job ads require GCC for embedded processors,
I wonder ,In the market, what is the percentage of embedded compiler
is implemented in GCC? If I started to learn GCC's code generation,
would I be able to find a job?
Thanks!

comp.compilers is a better place to ask questions about writing
compilers.

As lots of Embedded compiler was implemented in GNU compiler collection, gdb, etc..

Maybe the GNU and embedded experts have a better idea? ....

Any pointer is highly appreciated!
Thanks!

Like Ben Pfaff said, comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++ have nothing to do with
compilers. Please check a more appropriate group such as the one he
suggested (comp.compilers).

1. Ask your instructors/professors for leads.
2. Each chip developer has one lead compiler writer and some
staff or they job out the work.
3. They need competitive optimization and reliable code.
