regarding job: modern fab is pretty much automated.
however, people who run the fab are mostly engineers. TSMC recruit from Taiwan's top University like National Taiwan University. you've to pay these professionals a high salary regardless where the fab is. (each new gen fab is more automated than pervious.) just check out the salary + bonus for TSMC engineers in Taiwan.
- throwaway2037 6y agoHi. I checked salary and bonus for TSMC engineers in Taiwan. Here is what I found: Engineer (1.3M NTD -> 46.5K USD): https://www.glassdoor.com.hk/Salary/TSMC-Engineer-Taiwan-Salaries-EJI_IE4130.0,4_KO5,13_IL.14,20_IN240.htm https://www.glassdoor.com.hk/Salary/TSMC-Engineer-Taiwan-Sal... Senior Engineer (2.0M NTD -> 71.5K USD): https://www.glassdoor.com.hk/Salary/TSMC-Senior-Engineer-Taiwan-Salaries-EJI_IE4130.0,4_KO5,20_IL.21,27_IN240.htm https://www.glassdoor.com.hk/Salary/TSMC-Senior-Engineer-Tai... Unless I misunderstood your comment, you seem to be hinting that these pay packages are very high. They don't look very competitive when compared to other high income countries. I cannot prove it, but my sense about TSMC is that their most senior researchers, sales people, and operations people are paid silly money. The remaining (below them) are paid good, but not insane, wages. That said, most of the TSMC R&D labs and fabs are in cheap locations, like Hsinchu and Tainan, so these pay packages are still quite good.
