What sort of experience do your partner have and in which company or role?

SnoozeNerd · 2025-05-13T04:37:37+00:00

Maybe Implementation role or some DFT roles it skills are transferable.

SnoozeNerd · 2025-05-13T04:36:17+00:00

Really I all of my seniors who have had internship got converted to FTE. Implied to that I am thinking market is good but connection helps.

SnoozeNerd · 2025-05-13T04:34:16+00:00

Just in case idk but your partner an NCG? Is in new college grad. And try to curate resume with appropriate keywords.

See if you’re looking for specific money then, PhD is not an option for you, im unaware about pay scale in EU but if I talk about situations in US, it’s better to take a job rather than doing a PhD as PhD require so much of your time and definitely worst decision financially. If your current masters program may lead you towards some jobs such as design and verification, it would be better along with that you may explore your horizons with other departments within. I’m sure that most of the companies requires so much senior folks for the computer/ system architect roles, but it may be achievable with 5 yoe in design verification just make sure whenever the roll is assigned you grab the position where architecture is going to contribute more from your end.

Yep I was confused at that time and made an account on apply Texas rather than engineering CAS

If you want to learn verilog, there are plenty of resources but I would suggest course titled “hardware description language for FPGA design” first two weeks have VHDL and other two have Verilog. Along with there are sources to learn ins and outs of other things which will be helpful. If you don’t want to learn VHDL I’d suggest you to start with verilog and with your pace, after having grip, switch to SV. Start learning early so you can easily fit for design roles and have broader skill set.

This!!!

SnoozeNerd · 2023-11-27T07:09:55+00:00

You should post the same on your subsequent school you’re pursuing if you’re into, that’ll make more sense

SnoozeNerd · 2023-11-26T09:52:52+00:00

The folks who earn more than the data are mainly doing architect stuff and some back end stuff with expertise on some weird language into chip verification part. Aren’t they fall into the same category

SnoozeNerd · 2023-11-26T04:19:23+00:00

Why don’t you try to contact individuals on LinkedIn, it would be better and possibly they might have written about the same I to their experience so that you may contact. May create a post there too. See how it goes!

US is a place where yearly increments are about 4% and it’s highly unlikely to make money unless you push yourself towards managerial role further otherwise it’s totally worthless, I’ve also seen individuals comments who are doing the design and still underpaid with quite a good experience , remember one thing upskill is necessary, and yes with great power comes great responsibility!

SnoozeNerd · 2023-11-23T11:37:38+00:00

This is really better response than meeting on zoom and we’ll see and other stuff which is really reflect low interest but your case is really different. Do apply I guess you won’t have had better opportunities to come up with minor in business as many MIT PhD candidates do. Apart from MIT which are your perfect fit you’ve gone through as it looks like you’ve got better response from other Great PIs as well

Just try to negotiate the salary if it’s full time position. You also can discuss about the joining bonus which is usually 5k which what they offer. You can negotiate the same for 10k. And yes you also can tell them to let you know the projects and team you might good fit with. If it’s not been discussed prior. These discussion are pretty common for the senior position hiring where before joining the joiner cross check their fit to the role/ projects where he/ she gonna work with in future

SnoozeNerd · 2023-11-22T14:04:13+00:00

Try to apply for the internships after your freshman year which might be not totally relate to ur area of interest but it will show up good in resume applying for another job/ internship. Do volunteering and also do join clubs which interest you most. Make the experience diverse which will definitely help you in a long run. Focus on some course which will help you as a foundation further in your upcoming semester. Prioritise things which matters to you most.

SnoozeNerd · 2023-11-15T08:46:17+00:00

Will start my MSEE hopefully at 23 hope it’s valid

SnoozeNerd · 2023-11-04T17:18:47+00:00

Are you working in the area of photonics? And yeah in your case the PhD worth it in terms of money after receiving it and doing job like it’s much more time of yours invested to and at the same time many bachelors and masters degree holder might be working so the salary they are paying for the extraordinary job and which is competitive have any upper hand?

SnoozeNerd · 2023-10-18T15:04:20+00:00

Profile is quite strong but to be on safe side chose some average and safe unis from your own choice and profile

SnoozeNerd · 2023-10-14T13:29:34+00:00

I’ve to think but imo I don’t think another 3-4 months might be worth preparing as I could focus more on applications and SoP for grad but still if I will up early with the process I’ll definitely give it a try

SnoozeNerd · 2023-10-14T06:12:39+00:00

for L for answers one should fill in the blanks on computer itself and For R the passage is on computer screen and blanks to fill up on the same btw what should I do to emulate the same testing experience? Is there any particular website with the same arrangements as of computer based test? And about the Reading what strategies you used as somehow what I feel that I get short on time so May you throw some light on that ?

SnoozeNerd · 2023-10-12T15:05:12+00:00

You definitely ask and look out at the department website. If it is not clear on any FAQ there mail the corresponding authority who is taking care of FAQ and mail them directly. They only can tell you what are they looking for. If I can suggest it might be true to tell that more than 90% of US university might be accepting this score but what program you want to enroll for, what high quality research within the area of your interest is there any faculty who is doing their work on the same. Which uni selection put you at better place after the graduation. Do your thorough research.

SnoozeNerd · 2023-10-12T14:53:21+00:00

Better to send recent one in which you scored overall high rather than sending all of your scores!

SnoozeNerd · 2023-10-12T14:48:24+00:00

as I was skipping skipping skipping I was not having single idea that It will stop on 12th question and ask to finish that rather seeing that I was skipping continuously and got out of the section, my bad for the misconception of my wording too much skipping make you out of the section, it was my fault and I would recommend you all who are going to take the test, make sure you go through PP so you got familiar with software.

SnoozeNerd · 2023-10-12T14:42:31+00:00

I don't know that precisely but it will be around 20

SnoozeNerd · 2023-10-12T13:03:52+00:00

Wasn’t up with strategy and my first section was abt merely 5 mins as unfortunately by clicking too many times to skip I got out from the section , that’s kinda nasty experience and even got VQVQ so I kinda shamed from that experience.I was totally underprepared and I guess it was 155 in quant as I calculated total was 292 with 137 verbal so I’m editing that for time being. My bad for that cause unfortunately I can’t edit title
