I have 15 years of experience as a driver developer and computer architect. This comment is spot-on. As an employee you will have very few potential employers in the semiconductor industry and it's very unlikely that we will see a significant change. In the software world not only you have much more variety of work and potential employers, but it's much more likely that new exciting startups/unicorns will succeed in the next few years. While I enjoy my current job and I have a great boss, if I could go back to my college years, I would steer my career in a different direction.
