You can interview with other companies while employed.
You don't have to take an employment offer if you don't want to.
Start applying to jobs and interviewing. Don't restrict yourself to embedded, you can pick up other skills/languages. You don't need to lie, just present yourself fairly. You'll get a much better appreciation of your standing, and what other companies are looking for. Also interviewing is a skill, and it's worth practicing on its own.
After a few months, you'll be able to make a much more informed decision. Also I echo the others saying that embedded development generally signals competence in our field.
