#hardware #phd #machinelearning #semiconductor #deeplearning #intel #faang Hi Community, I am looking for an honest opinion, regarding a dilemma I'm facing. After completing my Masters in ECE, I started working as a Architecture Validation Engineer at Intel. In the year that I have spent working at Intel, I realized that I should pursue something more than what I'm currently doing. I have academic and research experience in Deep Learning and Computer Architecture and I'm thinking of pursuing a PhD in that field while continuing my job. So, I'm looking forward to your opinions and advices for the same. If someone is pursuing PhD while working please comment/DM me about your thoughts and experience.
Have intel sponsor it
If you really want to learn and make a difference go for full time PhD.
It is very likely it wont work out. You will have a very hard time graduating. PhD is a full time endeavor. On the flipside, no professor is going to admit you to their lab if they realize you’re not 100% dedicated to research. PHd is not like a 9-5 job. It literally requires your nights and weekends. Any spare time not spent on research is time added to delay your graduation. If you have passion for research you should quit and do phd full time.

Question from Israeli friends
I have a PhD in that area. I don't think a part time PhD is a good idea, instead you should quit your job (Intel isn't paying you much anyways) and do a PhD full-time.
I second this. If you’re worried about income loss you can make some of it up by getting summer internships at a decent place.
