Some background: I'm a Computer Engineering student close to graduating and I've been looking for a C/Embedded job for a while. I'm not really into hard electronics which is why I didn't take EE but I don't really like doing web stuff since most of the languages are clunky and I don't ever want to deal with IE again in my whole life.
Right now I'm about to take a C++ job for a company which I'm really interested in, but literally the day after I finished the interviewing process I saw they posted an ad for an embedded C job. Now, the tech interview was mostly focused on low level C stuff, with almost no OO/C++ related questions, so I'm guessing I'll still get to work on what I like anyways, but I want to know if it would be ok for me to ask them to switch me to the C project from day one, or they'll think I'm nitpicking and not really interested in the job I originally applied for.
