Joining Samsung
Is joining Samsung a good idea right now with the current economic situation? Are there any layoff planned? @samsung
I don’t know but they seem to be hiring. I get a lot of spam. Usually for Austin and not remote. I don’t live in Austin.
But I do wonder if a role is not fab related or in Austin
I went from Intel to Samsung. Feel free to ask me anything.
What is it like? In terms of wlb, job security and technical expertise amongst your peers at samsung?
Pretty good so far. WLB is about what I had at Intel. The expertise is pretty good, but I mostly interact with Korea and the Montreal AI team. Some of the others I've interacted with are a little bullshitty, but overall the Korean teams and AI teams seem quite strong.
Offer details?
Joined during the pandemic, haven’t heard of layoffs since or anything upcoming. We’ve been actively hiring, and reports show Samsung is much more stable than competitors in the current situation
How did you get 2 offers in this situation? Both samsung and Nvidia? Which orgs are hiring?
There are open roles at both companies.
They’re opening a semiconductor plant in Taylor and so will be hiring a ton from what I know.
