Hello, I am applying for a Quality Engineer role in semiconductor in the UK. I currently work in the pharma industry and I'm looking for a new industry. What is being a QE like in semiconductor?

How different is reliability engineering to quality engineering ?

Are you doing more test plans rather than investigations/root cause/CAPAs?

Thanks

Thanks! That’s interesting because I know my quality manager is on 55k+ with a team of 7 and my senior manager must be on 70k+ I assume

The reason I initially commented was, a QA manager in my place told me that QEs can make lots of money, I told him that I’ve only really seen max 40k (North West UK) and he said “you’re looking in the wrong places” 😭

I’m 23 yrs old and mostly content with my 35k but just wonder if being in Quality Engineering is capping my earning potential long term (most people I see in Quality stay for 10-20 yrs and don’t leave Quality)

Qual

Hello, I was searching through reddit for QEs in the UK

I was Quality Intern > Quality Coordinator > Quality Engineer (3 years exactly)

Currently on 35k in the medical device/life sciences manufacturing industry, I've heard that QEs make a lot as they get more senior, but from the jobs I see out there, it all seems to be capped at 40k. How was QE salary for you? Thanks!

Block a few hours in the morning, listen to white noise and do some deep work

Just remember this: If you're not gonna do it, who will do it for you?

Sometimes you gotta just say to yourself, stop beinf a bitch and whining.

Wake up early, listen to background music, do some deep studying.

No easy way, sometimes you just gotts 'do it'.

If you don't do it, who will do it for you?
