Outsourcing
Are all hardware platform/board design jobs being outsourced to Asia? I don't see many openings lately
We’re all systems integrators now
That is bound to happen with globalization
asic or chip design might follow very soon
We (QCOM) are already moving low tier and some mid tier to India.
This is what happens when companies get sick of visa issues and being labeled as “job stealers”. Instead of competing with Congress mandated salaries, now compete with third-world salaries with 0 regulators- MAGA 😀
100% this! Every magAhat thinks magically every employment based immigrant they send back is a new job for one of "them". But that's not how the Internet and the world works
Yes jobs move with talent, I know atleast 4 people who moved to Canada, South Korea and UK along with same job and less pay. Company is happy as they have to pay less for same work and engineers are happy as no longer have to fight for visa
Been happening.
Last stage capitalism
Capitalism is great in finding market efficiencies. For hardware, Shenzhen is the Silicon Valley. Speed of model to prototype they achieve is hard to replicate in US without buying a lot of expensive equipment here knowing that it will be severely under utilized.
The world is flat now. There are no boundaries!
Money isn't real
Our team is adopting more JDM work due to retention issues, getting FATP’s to pick up the slack
What’s jdm and fatp?
JDM – joint design manufacturer FATP – final assembly, test, and pack
There are less may be
Is the sky blue? Is the water wet?
Is math related to science?
Are we in the matrix?
