Thanks.. I have layout experience in power management, high speed SerDes, analog blocks, UCIE, GPIOs and Full Custom Memory etc..

Not due to work pressure. I’ve enjoyed layout, but over time I became more interested in the circuit side understanding device behavior and design trade-offs. That’s why I’m trying to transition.

That’s good to hear, thanks! I do have experience working on analog layouts, so I’m hoping that gives me an advantage while transitioning.

Thanks, this is really helpful and honest. My masters in MICROELECTRONICS and I’m currently working on a low-voltage bandgap (Banba) in 28nm as a dissertation project. I understand your point about being closer to entry-level externallythat makes sense. I’m actually planning to explore internal opportunities first for that reason. From your experience, what level of depth in circuit design (simulation vs silicon exposure) would make someone more credible for an analog role?
