This is basically a matter of your interests and even specific career interests, since both paths require different sets of skills. A quick comparison for your viewing pleasure is shown in the table below:

Feature	Microelectronics	Embedded Systems
Focus	Hardware design, chip development	Combining hardware and software to create intelligent devices
Tasks	Design circuits, optimise fabrication processes	Develop firmware, interface with hardware, write real-time code
Industries	Semiconductor, consumer electronics, medical devices	Automotive, robotics, aerospace, Internet of Things (IoT)
Skills	Strong understanding of electronics, physics, circuit design	Programming skills (C, C++), knowledge of microcontrollers, operating systems
Salary	Generally high, with potential for specialization	Can be comparable to microelectronics, varies depending on experience and industry
