Where are they going to go?
I’m sure the key people won’t hurt as much, but hardware people are pretty screwed overall. Your mastery of some Intel process has not much value in the market.
I worked at a tenant in a well funded facility doing semiconductor manufacturing R&D and prototyping. The nicest cars on that lot belonged to the tradesmen running wire and pipe for the tools. A few execs drove fancy cars in their special lot.

- numbsafari 4y agoYeah, it’s not like there’s a ton of new manufacturing capacity building in the US, or an explosion of firms wanting to do custom, in house designs…
- somethoughts 4y agoThis is the challenge with working in the semiconductor industry - you really are captive to <5 employers who have access to the billion dollar fabs and if they are all cutting staff then you have to take what you can get - unlike the SW/SAAS type companies where you just need an AWS account and a really good idea and good sales team. Also it is highly likely TSMC pays much less than Intel's process/fab side of the house and works its process/fab teams a lot harder.
