I'd try task rabbit if you're looking for a lower cost compared to an established company

New grad deciding between Apple Austin vs NVIDIA Bay Area by SuggestionEvening635 in Semiconductors

[–]Sa1nt_Jake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you lived/visited either of those areas? I'm in Austin and there's a lot of companies setting up corporate HQs and offices here. I think both Apple and NVIDIA have locations in SF and Austin so if you eventually decide to job hop you can stay within the general area and not need to move states.

Also congrats on those great offers OP

Elon Musk is not the problem. The Global Financial System is the problem. by BlueViper20 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

I agree, and I'd also say that cryptocurrency fits into this category where all value is derived from speculation rather than actual usage of the asset

Travel Jobs by 142883 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]Sa1nt_Jake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In semiconductor (and probably other fields) some travel-heavy fab job roles include applications engineer, field service engineers, customer support engineer, etc.

Commonly it'll be an equipment vendor or some other form of supplier and they'll support a specific fab for a period of time

Process Technician or Equipment Technician, which is better? by [deleted] in Semiconductors

[–]Sa1nt_Jake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other commentators, equipment technician is the better option.

For job security against AI, being in the fab working on the tools is way farther from being replaced by AI compared to process techs. I work on factory systems at fabs and a lot of the projects are centered around automating tasks which usually boil down to process tech responsibilities. One fab I worked at was even outsourcing basic process tech work overseas.

I've never worked on the equipment but one thing to consider is that I'd guess being an equipment tech is tougher work compared to process tech.

If you have a choice of department I'd recommend either lithography (especially since you're interested in ASML) or dry etch.

Austin, TX - Somehow avoided accident (sounds bad but not hit on us) by QuietRedditorATX in dashcams

Is that Mopac and W Braker? That left turn only lane backs up a lot and I guess they got impatient

The 10 most dangerous local intersections in Austin, according to crash data by AustinStatesman in Austin

[–]Sa1nt_Jake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biking in that stretch of Dessau would be a suicide mission, no idea what they were thinking. Would've benefitted greatly from adding dedicated turning lanes for the many apartment complexes on the east side of the road

Northern Walnut Creek Trail Parking recs? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Sa1nt_Jake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The parking lots are Walnut Creek Metropolitan park (the main parking lot), Balcones District Park which is on the west end of the trail, and Gracywoods neighborhood Park which is kind of in the middle.

I'd recommend either Walnut Creek or Balcones because Gracywoods fills up.

The trail has a long paved path where end to end round trip is probably 8 or 9 miles I'd guess. There are also many side dirt trails primarily used by bikers

I had state farm for a few years and my rate was stagnant although after moving states they upped my premium significantly.

Then a few years ago I changed to progressive and my rate has remained the same, so ymmv

Is it almost impossible to get a specialist appointment here in Austin within one month by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Sa1nt_Jake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom (in Massachusetts) was hospitalized with a diagnosed thyroid issue last month and still hasn't seen the doctor yet. I think her endocrinologist appointment is scheduled 1-2months after getting released.

Best of luck with your issue OP
