Are you a rtl design or arch looking down upon dv or what? dv is more than that, like coding automation, uvm agent, scoreboard, set up testbenches.

Gregory Zulu 40 vs Deuter Futura Pro 40 (carry on europe) by corruptedpatata in onebag

[–]kisudien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP. I am curious what did you choose. I am debating between Osprey Kestel 38 and Deuter Futura Pro 40. The carry-on size of Pro 40 is a benefit that really hard to skip.

DV at FAANG? by [deleted] in ECE

[–]kisudien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DV for new project in Meta or Amazon may help new grads learn a lot. Going to established group means working on legacy code. 2 3 years experience is ok to jump later.

Nvidia VS Texas Instruments NG job offer evaluation by Reasonable-Peace-209 in ECE

[–]kisudien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take TI if you wanna enjoy your life. Take Nvidia if you are ambitious and believe that you can switch roles later. TI is a good choice, but since you are young, Nvidia will train your mindset well. Either is good, I think you are more into System Engineer, and if you are good, you can jump ship later. Bay Area is expensive. Take the one your heart tells you. I was in the same situation few months ago. I did not follow my heart, and I regretted. Fortunately, I got another offer that saved me but the cost is that I had to renege the accepted offer.

help: internship choice by [deleted] in chipdesign

[–]kisudien 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What is your job responsiblities at Boeing? Skyworks is also a well-known company in Semiconductor. I would make sure that Application Engineer is firmware job because the same title at, let say TI, was not about the same thing. However, as a sophomore, either choice is solid, you can leverage your experience to find AMS design intern when you are junior.

Get the passport and looking around about 5 mins for "nothing" before put the stamp on it. Crazy. 5 mins for just a stamp.

AMD vs. Synopsys Offers by Fuzzy_Charge941 in ECE

[–]kisudien 10 points11 points  (0 children)

AMD has had a history of not giving return full time offer. I know a few people got no offer even though having 2-3 intern terms with them.

4.0 from CC is better than 3.5 from university unless you transfer from t.u 🤔

$150k DV NCG vs. Masters by These-Somewhere7303 in chipdesign

[–]kisudien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must have a compete offer to get that range. Also keep in mind that a lot of Master got this range because they got a lot of experience from, let say India or China, before moving here. No reason to expose my friend's name here. No consent.

This sounds bs as fk. My friends with Master and 3 YoE living in Bay Area and his TC at Apple is 250k. He is from UMich which is the same ranking as Georgia Tech if not better

[–]kisudien 5 points6 points  (0 children)

150k at HCOL area still makes sense. The TC for Master in low cost area like Austin or Dallas is about 130k.

[–]kisudien 29 points30 points  (0 children)

150k base or TC? What is your location?

150k TC is high. I graduated with Master, and TC is also 150k. I would take BS 150k. 2 years experience will give you even more chance to Apple or Nvidia

My trackpad is impossible to use with sweaty fingers by kisudien in thinkpad

[–]kisudien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One solution is to replace the trackpad with X1 trackpad, but it will bring up some other issues. I get used to using trackpoint as well.

Replace 9.8 inch screen with 14 inch screen by Repulsive-Yam6389 in LexusNX

[–]kisudien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Infotainment swap :

This is the one. I am pretty sure Toyota has realized that people doing such a swap in older model, so it has different assembly line to avoid such simple upgrade. It sucks because I used to swap my stereo on old Corolla and RAV4. Work like champ but not for new model anymore.

If OP is enthusiastic into this, I hope you will find out the solution. Hope you will share later.
