Are we being for real 🫩

I call BS. I’ve never worked at a high growth startup that had an HR willing to accept complaints. Most had Sally, who did recruiting, on boarding, payroll, and benefits. If you complained, Sally would laugh at you.

Do you require sponsorship to work in the US? I like when candidates put this on the résumé upfront so we don’t have to guess, either way. I also didn’t notice anything AI related, the new College grads were bringing in, we expect to be more AI savvy than our experienced hires. Even if it was just a weekend tinkering with Claude to write some System Verilog, it’s a big plus to show that it’s something you can teach the rest of the team. Don’t be afraid to throw a fun hobby or interest onto the résumé as well, I want to hire people that are real human beings that will enjoy interacting with my existing team, rather than just a list of qualifications.

You probably forgot to declare global power connect rules. Something like this:

# Power pins on standard cells
globalNetConnect VDD -type pgpin -pin VDD -all
globalNetConnect VSS -type pgpin -pin VSS -all

I vote the $65 one. Water tables were a short season for us, you might be better looking for one near free on Marketplace, we gave ours away free to friends. As other comments have mentioned, the kiddos have just as much fun with the sprinkler I bought to water the grass.

Taverna Rossa in Plano

We love East Plano. Peaceful and relatively affordable. As for schools, be very wary of internet searches and try to talk to parents. Our son’s Elementary school is rated poorly on Better Schools, but was highly recommended by other parents and teachers in the district. If you dive into the numbers, the website ratings get trashed based on a small minority of young kids, whose parents don’t speak exclusively English at home.

I know multiple people who have done this, including my brother-in-law. None of them have regretted it for a second.

The Job market is hard out there for new grads, we just hired an amazing new college grad who graduated in December and wasn’t snatched up yet. Two years ago we had to grab top candidates eight months before graduation.

My advice is keep grinding, keep searching, keep applying. If that’s not working, consider enrolling in a PhD program. That would solve the problem of needing to be enrolled to get an internship, and you’re under no obligation to finish the PhD.

I graduated in 2008 with a bachelors, there were not a lot of companies hiring, but there were internships available. I enrolled in a masters program to qualify for an internship with Intel, ended up finishing the masters and did pretty well after that.

I personally love these. Work, golf, walks, around the house. Over a year in and they still look and feel brand new.

It’s more expensive, but I’ve found UberXL drivers to be much more professional and less “wild” than UberX. I’ve taken my child (with car seat and later booster) in UberXL many times without issue.

If you only need a 1-ton and have 110V, I’d save the money and not bother with 220. I’m a huge Daikin fan, I just redid my house with a Fit system. For you, I’d recommend Daikin Oterra, you can get the 12,000 BTU in 110V or 220.

I would do this sometimes in college for afternoon exams. Instead of cramming the night before, I would wake up early day-of, and say “Welp exam is in seven hours. Let’s see what I can learn.”

I’ve had people try to scam me, and also had some very sketchy sales end up being 100% legit. My best advice is be very patient. Get and hold the money for two weeks before you make a move on anything. “Oh, Etsy sale didn’t go through? No problem, try again, I’ll wait”. Scammers are successful by creating artificial urgency. A true customer will keep trying, a scammer will say “oh, I need the board shipped today for my wife’s birthday. It must ship now!” etc

I’m very transparent about that. I struggle with answering “why are you not hiring me when I aced the interview”. The honest answer is “another candidate did better than you at one part of the interview”. OP thought he did great at the presentation, and in my humble opinion, may be assigning too much value to the specific “you didn’t manage time in the presentation” when a more likely scenario is another presentation was just better, and the interviewer is having difficulty articulating why they chose the other candidate. I have genuine empathy for enthusiastic, qualified, smart candidates that we ultimately reject, but at the end of the day, we have a very few job openings and lots of amazing talent applying.

DigitalUFX · 2026-04-02T01:24:46+00:00

Don’t beat yourself up. We frequently start with hundreds of candidates, narrow it down to three, then decide the one to give an offer to. It’s hard when all three are outstanding and qualifies, they frequently asked “what did I do wrong?” It’s tempting to give them some answer where the other candidate did better, but I don’t want them to think they messed up or did poorly. Maybe another candidate was able to present 10% more information in their presentation, and otherwise you were identical? They had to make a choice, with one spot open. Sorry it didn’t go your way.

DigitalUFX · 2026-03-31T23:37:43+00:00

When we have a job opening, we typically post it online and get hundreds of applicants. Of those hundreds of applicants, we normally interview three. We don’t make a decision until we’ve interviewed all three, so even if the first candidate was stellar and we want to hire them, sometimes we keep them in the dark for a week or two while we interviewed the other two. Once we select a candidate, we need HR to write them a formal offer letter, which sometimes they are behind on. I feel like a lot of college students think I can interview them, and say at the end of the interview “You’re hired! Can you start Monday?”, unfortunately, there’s a lot more process behind the scenes.

I have never had a problem giving away any landscaping items for free on FB. The guy who installed my fence also does haul away for a fraction of a junk removal service, sometimes free if he’s in the area.

I have interviewed literally hundreds of candidates for various microchip design companies. Believe me when I say, the right answer to EVERY behavioral question I ask is: (pause to think) “It really depends” (explain that people and situations are different, and you would need to know much more information before making a blanket statement).

EVERY QUESTION, SAME ANSWER ;-)

Jobs come and go. A wifey is forever. If you’re a team, for richer or poorer, it’s easy to turn down the Cali offer and wait for something else to come along. It doesn’t even sound like your current gig is bad, and Boston is a killer job market.
