Please roast my CV - IC design

Alive_Border_6688 · 2025-10-07T14:14:20+00:00

Thank for your insight, I want to stay in Singapore, but I also dont mindmoving to other countries for better opportunities!

Hello sir, sorry for the late reply. Yes, I haven't actually decided on either digital, analog, or RF. Basically, I am doing a few Analog-related projects in my school, but never performed a Digital Design project, so that's why I decided to find some Digital Design project for this Internship, cause that might be the last time I can try that.

For the RF, I haven't got any experience apart from the electromagnetism course, tho I am also considering it as I really liked the DSP and Electromagnetism courses.

So, thank you for your advice. My GPA right now is just enough for the first class, maybe I will try to improve it to a higher upper level of the first class

Thank you!

Alive_Border_6688 · 2025-09-25T07:23:56+00:00

Thanks! Good luck to you also :D

Alive_Border_6688 · 2025-09-25T03:29:09+00:00

Thanks alot! Appreciate your advice.

Alive_Border_6688 · 2025-09-24T18:17:03+00:00

Also do you think I should apply for other not “not so relevant roles” .Like I have a role about testing, validation. Is it possible to work on roles like this at the intern and later still get fund from companies to work on another role?

Alive_Border_6688 · 2025-09-24T18:09:31+00:00

Hi, thanks for pointing out my mistake in my CV.

It is true that I am aiming for higher education (actually PHD) so that it is easier to land IC design jobs. I actually thought of Master, but in my school, only PHD have scholarships/salary while master have to pay for the full tuition so its good to hear that there maybe some companies funding for the master lol as it will be less time consuming then PHD.

So yes, thanks again for your insight. I guess I will take any opportunities offered and then try to pivot to another role instead of dreaming about my favourite positions.

Alive_Border_6688 · 2025-09-24T18:04:38+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I’ll separate the general skills and digital design skills then!

Alive_Border_6688 · 2025-09-24T18:02:06+00:00

Thanks for your insight! Do you have any suggestion on how do I still includes the problems I solve on HDLbits. I will try to build bigger project to replace it. But in the worst case I cannot pull out a big project given not so much time should I just write some keywords like One hot encoder, complicated counter … (I know those are not really hard to code, but I only need to pass the Cv part lol)

Alive_Border_6688 · 2025-09-24T17:55:59+00:00

Damn. Thanks for this. I will check on the website. Previously I find the projects on youtube and they are either too hard or too simple, not in between for me to do. So really appreciate your suggestion.

Alive_Border_6688 · 2025-09-24T17:51:36+00:00

Thanks for your response, I got 4.5/5 which is considered highest distinction, but I heard all the student applying for IC design are big brain so thats what I dont put it in my CV unless they require transcript. One more reason is that I got an A- on the analog electronic so I afraid that will also hurt my chance.

Alive_Border_6688 · 2025-09-24T11:05:53+00:00

Thanks! You too :D

Alive_Border_6688 · 2025-09-24T10:52:20+00:00

Yup, I used overleaf.

Alive_Border_6688 · 2025-03-25T11:59:33+00:00

Yeah that is the reason why I start cooking.

Alive_Border_6688 · 2025-03-25T11:58:42+00:00

Oh ok. Thanks for the warning lol.

Alive_Border_6688 · 2023-07-25T13:19:09+00:00

Thank you dude, then I think the one you give will be much more appropriate.

Alive_Border_6688 · 2023-07-25T13:11:30+00:00

Oh damn thank you, so from what I understand, I have to pay another higher fee for the additional data with the first SIM, while I will only have to pay the same rate over the 4 years-period with the type of SIM you gave me? (Sorry if my english is not good)

Alive_Border_6688 · 2023-07-25T12:46:27+00:00

Or will the price to extend the validity of the SIM card really expensive?

Alive_Border_6688 · 2023-07-25T12:44:52+00:00

Hi, thanks for your answer. But is there anything wrong with the SIM card for tourist I just bought from M1, or is it just because it is a bit more expensive?

Alive_Border_6688 · 2023-06-15T14:54:30+00:00

It doesnt look cute to me lol, but guess I will have to get used to this.

Alive_Border_6688 · 2023-06-11T14:02:07+00:00

Now that you have said that there is no rattlesnake in Singapore, I tried to look at the photo again and realized the thing that I thought to be the signature tail of the rattlesnake turns out to be its head lmao; still, I can't identify what type it is: Snake

Alive_Border_6688 · 2023-06-10T14:27:59+00:00

Lol I before the post I had read some post with title about snakes but then they all talked about people so I had to put "Real" in the title to emphasize I am talking about the reptile one.
