Hello, Blind memebers. I am currently working as a semiconductor yield engineer at Samsung Korea. I'm in process of GC, so visa issue is cleared, but still not sure it's a good choice to apply to semiconductor jobs in US. Basically I want to leave this company due to mono diversity/stiff culture/lack of opportunity to learn and grow/work overload. Are these common in chip makers like Intel, TSMC or other semiconductor companies? If so, I sincerely consider switching my career to SWE or DS by pursing another master degree in the states. No CS background, but while working I get versed in python, SQL, and spotfire, so when I put efforts on that, I positively think I could switch my career. TC : 72K YOE : 4 #semiconductor #intel #tsmc

This is a Samsung culture problem, not indicative of the entire industry.
Samsung culture is: sleep at the desk so you show your boss you have been working hard until 10pm Such a weird culture. Not balanced. American companies are much more reasonable. Just avoid Chinese companies like bytenance/tiktok and their stupid 996 culture.
You will get much better, even staying in semiconductors, in the us. However, this industry really lags the broader engineering market.
In what way does it lag? Curious.
