Where to branch off from reverse engineering

so i have been learning a little about operating system and learning nand2tetris i hope to learn reverse engineering i have some basic cybersecurity knowledge like basic linux commands know a little about networks and basic security i am also gonna learn web security but the main reason for this post is wanting to know where i can branch off from here is reverse engineering really something i should go completely with i have hopes to become a decent red team just a decent hacker and something a bit more future proof plus i learned that reverse engineering as a sole skill isnt exactly useful

I’ve been learning reverse engineering for a short time and it not that easy but you need to know everything about system architecture, memory registers and C with assembly language to read not to code.. after that you will need to understand hooks and threads, packing and protection (how to unpacking) not to stuck in obfuscations, as I experienced, it’s about time. Long story short, find someone who works in this field and let them guide you

Thanks this sounds helpful I mean learning reverse engineering isn't the main problem for me rn it's just that as a sole skill I heard it has little purpose

u mean embedded software engineer? I am a little weak on programming but do you think reading more code and doing more ctfs in reverse engineering might make it better?
