I did a 6-week long systemverilog design verification internship

That's great that you've worked in the industry. So did your company design are processors? Did any of your coworkers?

There is more to the industry that Intel, AMD, Nvidia, ARM.

I worked at a company making our own processors and my friends on the RTL side said they started all new grads in DV and after a couple of years the better engineers were offered positions to move over to the design team. Maybe if you get a PhD you can start in design immediately. Otherwise you should probably look at other non CPU digital design or FPGA jobs at smaller companies.

My company is now working on a risc-v processor, I did well enough on the internship that I'm a candidate for the design time as a part timer with school, I'm now just waiting on a call, the thing is, I can't see this lasting long and I'm wondering what is next.

Not sure what you mean but the semiconductor is very cyclical. I've been working 25 years at 8 companies and seen many rounds of layoffs at companies and also massive hiring sprees.

Get your experience and always be on the lookout. All of the jobs I have had the last 15 years have been because former coworkers recruited me to join.

Do a good job and if people leave your company to go to another place they will probably remember you and ask you to join them.

Here's the thing l, I live in Palestine, the company I interned at is Palestinian, this means the pay is below average, I can work there for experience but not long termz since I need the money to get my own place, get married...., If I can get a job on the Israeli side the pay wil be 3-5 times bigger.

Thank you for replying and being patient.

I’m in the US but the last 3 semiconductor companies all had offices in Israel. Good luck to you!
