I'm a young pos-doc working in antenna design now, but have an broad range of interests in RF, so I'm not necessarily going to stay in this field all my working life.
I need to do a job at work, and from what I gather, ADS, FEKO, CST and HFSS could all be used. The university has licenses for them all, and nobody really cares what one I use. Hence I'm wonding what is the best tool to have on the CV of an RF engineer, where the exact direction of my career is not set. I could also possibly learn Empire's XCcell, but this does not seem too popular in industry compared to the other packages, so I' less inclined to spend my time learning it.
Of course, I can use job sites, and searced for jobs wanting specific packages, but I don't think that gives the whole story. I'm interested in what others think.
Given a random job might call for knowledge of a specific package I don't happen to learn, is there any one of the popular packages which one could argue learning will convince an employer that I could easilly learn their favorite package?
I'm just trying to keep my options open for the long term, as in the short term at least, I don't think my requirements are beyond any of these packages.
