I've got to admit I was pretty surprised when I learned about the pay + hard work setup for semi engineers at TSMC in Taiwan. I'd be curious if anyone has any first hand experience with it.
- justinclift 3y agoA (westerner) friend who lived in Taiwan for a few years returned recently. He keeps on saying the general lifestyle and living conditions in Taiwan are really lousy compared to Australia. eg the climate is so wet/humid in Taiwan that the buildings tend to generate mold, most things are run down, and that kind of thing. Didn't sound like a good place to live (yeah, as a generalisation), if you've got a choice in the matter.
- throwaway2037 3y agoTotal comp for onshore TSMC engineers is surprisingly low compared to finance or tech jobs in the US. Yes, cost of living is lower in Taiwan, but most of the big factories are outside mid-sized, unappealing cities. (I'm looking at you Taichung and Hsinchu.)
