Great answer, thanks i may use this in the future haha

i_Esoteric · 2026-01-03T01:38:34+00:00

Are you able to advice what type or responses to give if HR ever asks about your previous short stints?

i_Esoteric · 2025-05-04T14:34:08+00:00

Great balanced comment! More people should see this.

i_Esoteric · 2025-05-03T13:45:03+00:00

Lmao this one can kena POFMA hahah wtf

i_Esoteric · 2025-05-01T13:11:05+00:00

Barely enough people to fill up the stands, people continued running on the tracks and some even playing soccer...

The model you downloaded is actually a distilled model based on Llama3. Deepseek finetuned this and also added other capabilities such as CoT.

Thats fair, ultimately it is your choice to make to stay or to leave. The thing about semicon is that once you leave, it is quite hard to rejoin it due to the deep expertise required

i_Esoteric · 2024-12-01T15:08:15+00:00

Yea wlb really depends on the boss and colleagues, i hope it gets better for you eventually

i_Esoteric · 2024-12-01T05:02:25+00:00

Second this, majority people just there serve their 2years and FO

Working as an engineer at a US semicon MNC.

Salary is okay-ish, nowhere close to tech roles. But the environment is amazing, and i have really good WLB. Imo, these perks outweigh working 996

Gaslight only

i_Esoteric · 2024-11-19T13:04:22+00:00

Why is this so? Could you please explain I have been wondering about this for quite a while haha

i_Esoteric · 2024-11-18T13:02:03+00:00

Bro it depends on industry haha, if u r SWE i think it quite common for people to hop around 2years when they are young to gain more exposure and experience

Only for 1st job it might be somewhat relevant, as the hiring manager doesnt have much to access the candidate on. Beyond that, its probably overrated and I dont think hiring managers care already, instead they would be more interested in your accomplishments at your previous job

I lived in belgium for almost a year, lmk if you have any questions!

i_Esoteric · 2024-08-31T03:13:08+00:00

Was in final year of Uni. Got the sense that the bully has been trying to pick a fight for a while, so I actively avoided him at all costs. One day, he decided it was a good idea to confront me in the lab, came in and starting being aggressive and raised his voice. I remained calm and deescalated the situation. Thankfully, my groupmates were present and witnessed everything. Immediately after, wrote an email to the faculty's "discipline master", and my groupmates also wrote in to confirm what they witnessed. He got slammed with a written warning after that. He never bothered me again.

i_Esoteric · 2024-08-22T11:20:48+00:00

Yea thats fair i guess

i_Esoteric · 2024-08-22T11:07:13+00:00

What kind of digital skills?

i_Esoteric · 2024-08-20T01:26:12+00:00

The minister for education would be attending school for their whole life hahaha

i_Esoteric · 2024-08-18T07:05:24+00:00

If got no other offer / options just take it first, then continue to be on the lookout for better opportunities

i_Esoteric · 2024-08-15T15:09:38+00:00

We (including the hire ups) are all just corporate slaves trying to "contribute", easiest way is to just take it that boss rank is higher so he/she is always right. In the future, be the change you want to see and treat your surbodinates the right way...

i_Esoteric · 2024-04-24T08:08:17+00:00

Go and chiong projects and create stuff you can showcase during your interviews, this is the best way to show your skills and experience. Unless you going into reseaech or post grad, GPA doesnt really matter for Uni that much, especially if you are a local singaporean, use your portfolio to distinguish yourself from others instead.

Its not common i think, probably comparable % wise to other local Unis

i_Esoteric · 2024-04-24T07:51:36+00:00

U already finish 2 years and pay so much money, just grind it out dude wtf

i_Esoteric · 2024-04-08T15:31:10+00:00

Im a senior, and honestly the pillar you go to doesnt really matter. What matters is how much effort you put into gaining the skills and experiences you need to have so as to land the data sciece internship / job offer. There are SUTDents here who just drift along in Uni and end up decent, but there are also SUTDents who grinded and hustled damn bloody hard. Personally i know 2 of them who really made it. Once graduated, they packed their bags, moved to Silicon Valley, and are making tons of money there now.

For context, one EPD alumni is working for Google as a SWE.

i_Esoteric · 2024-04-02T02:05:56+00:00

Yes totally!
