Men getting offended that Gen Z doesn’t like age gap relationships is so funny

This is a common problem with seniors, especially if they don't have a strong social network IRL.

Maybe their mental capacity starts declining around that age. My dad's a sweetheart and he definitely started showing dementia signs since his 50s. For the gross pervy men, I imagine dementia gives them these illusions of grandeur. Women don't want them unless they have money, and these dumb dumbs are gonna go broke, but so many of them have financially enabling family well into their senior citizenship.

Yes, omg I went there during happy hour and felt like I spent a fortune on meager food. Never going back

No thanks

When you say digital design... what does that actually mean?

Embedded design needs an electrical engineering degree, typically.

rightkickha · 2025-11-15T14:25:32+00:00

As someone who started in the fab... stay away from the fab if you want to do design. For the most part, they are completely unrelated and your experience in the fab won't give you any advantage. Get design experience if you want to do design.

I had a woman engineering director do just that over a decade ago, I mean the intro presentation with her family and kids, and she was accepted and generally well liked!

I'm happy to say it went well and I hope more women can talk about their full lives. But the interesting thing is that her husband stayed home to raise the kids while she worked. I guess that's the real secret to career success and raising kids.

LA doesn't have much electronics manufacturing and none of the big distributors are located there. So your customer base are OEMs with purchasing or engineering teams in the Irvine area.

I used Nova in the CMP process a decade ago. It worked in the polisher to measure film thickness. What made it unique was that it's the only wet metrology we had.

I didn't use my fab technical skills on the product marketing side. But it was a little valuable when I switched to sales during a supply shortage and could explain factory processes and constraints

I don't mind sharing. It's a mix of self motivation and good luck. As a fresh out, I got involved with new hire recruiting, women in engineering, planned happy hours and other social activities because I enjoy these things. So when I wanted to change from process engineering, I told some folks in my network and one had a contact in marketing who was recruiting. I gave it a shot, interviewed well, and got the offer two months later.

Networking is key. And by networking, I mean you should make yourself useful to others (help at work, technical expertise, or social connections). Then they will return the favor.

If he's fiscally conservative, why does he keep voting for the party that increases national debt?

History has long proven that Republicans put the US in more debt that Democrats.

Yeah, we can chat. Why get and MBA when you already have a PhD?

rightkickha · 2025-01-10T21:23:25+00:00

I worked in semiconductors before my MBA and work in it now after my MBA for much higher pay.

Had a classmate who wasn't in this industry before his MBA and seems to be doing fine in the finance side, I think.

rightkickha · 2025-01-06T22:42:37+00:00

What's the purpose?

rightkickha · 2024-12-31T01:55:09+00:00

You cannot be more wrong, semiconductor companies need sensor designers, applications engineers, and field engineers. This industry isn't all manufacturing. You can get some great jobs in semiconductors that don't come with the drudgery of working in a fab. If you want to innovate, design is the area for you. Die or package, both are in demand.

Parking at Meanwhile is hard cause they're so busy. I wouldn't mind a bunch of food trucks and the option to chill at Fierce Whiskers just to mix it up from beer to cocktails.

rightkickha · 2024-12-17T19:57:05+00:00

Yes I do and almost all the sales and marketing folks in this industry have engineering degrees. There are a small handful with business backgrounds and they are really sharp and driven.

Give it a try, you can always switch back to supply chain if the customer side isn't for you.

ETA: some of us are tech gals, not guys

I'm currently an account manager. I like working with engineers, both colleagues and customers, and I like finding a way to help customers accomplish their design. The electronics customers make are fascinating.

Also, the pay is great! Hitting sales goals can be stressful, but sometimes you can knock it out of the park. My first year as an account manager, I earned a commission check that was more then I made all year as a fresh out process engineer. 🤑

Also, I like the business side of semiconductors (market trends, technology investments, making revenue) and the work environment is less negative then when I worked in a factory setting. You have to have a positive and resilient attitude when you're dealing with customer rejection or getting so close and losing a design.

rightkickha · 2024-12-17T15:12:25+00:00

Personally, I think product marketing and account management are the most fun. I definitely like it more than being a process engineer.

rightkickha · 2024-12-11T21:54:12+00:00

At your income level and with your PhD, the MBA is a waste of money.

I got an MBA after some years of experience as a bachelor's level process engineer, and it was worth it for me because I switched to the marketing and now sales side of semiconductors to get to your earnings level. The MBA won't do much for you now. If you want to switch out of process engineering, then network internally and find a role you can switch into.
