To non-Indians: Do you wish you were born Indian?
I just got offered Manufacturing Tech job at Intel Hillsboro, which I consider foot in the door step. I am planning to finish up Mechanical Engineering degree (BS) through Intel. I will be in my middle 40's by then. How difficult will be to get an internal offer for HWE or Mech Eng position?
Start out as an MT, use the available programs to get intel to pay for your BS, super easily converted into a Process/equipment engineer. Keep in mind there are grade 57's that are hourly (meaning you don't have to do the on-call, and your overtime is actually paid) making more than the non-senior engineers. 57's are making high 30s per hour low 40s with overtime, PA time, vacation time, compressed work week, RSUs/APB/QPB. TC ends up being 6 figs easy. There are techs on the team I work with that got the degree and realized they didn't want to do engineering.
If the question is purely around how easy is to do internal transfers, the answers is ‘it depends’. I’ve seen techs get engineer jobs if they have the right experience and have built the internal networks. It’s easier for you to become an engineer in your current place than try outside.
