I used to be considered a liberal, now I am leaning conservative. What happend?
Currently at AMD. 3yoe. SNPs reached out with AE job, said it's pretty hands on and not just pointing customers to databooks. They also said you do everything, RTL, verification, synthesis, AMS design, PCB, package, production,testing, firmware, architecture Knowledge, etc. This sounds really good because it has everything, so lots of transferrable skills that I can use to go to any area in the future. I'm mostly interested in verilog verification and firmware. Which my job doesn't provide (I do physical design verification). Also at AMD, I haven't found a role that has this much breadth, so I can't just do an internal transfer to a similar role as the SNPs role. Cons: -i feel like AMD is more prestigious and TC Can be higher -AE is very customer focused, manager basically said we worship the customer and you must love that -the team is in a different city, I don't want to relocate there, so I would be in an office near me but only 1 team member works there (this is bad for building a network) Pros: -lots of breadth -thats it...hopefully salary is higher (I won't switch unless 25-35% boost). What do you guys think? Any feedback Also, what is grade 66 equivalent to at AMD?
Never do AE.
Forget about company prestige. DV >> AE. AE = dead end. Period. It's the default for people who go into EE but decide they don't really like tech. Then they contemplate things like MBA, PM, and AE. The difference is that doing the MBA or becoming a PM has growth potential. AE does not. After a couple of years you can't even go back into a tech role.
Front end DV? He told about PCB, RTL,AMS, packaging? Did he knew the flow and what his team does?
He said I'll spend 50% of my team, in the first while as a new person, in RTL integration. Not really sure what that means. But no he did not go into any depth whatsoever. The most detail is verification could be either with RTL or system c based on customer. Also said architecture and spec of designs
DM me
AE is kind of dead end. Once you get in, very hard to get out. Unless you get into some sort of team which does implementation for client you will be sitting and solving tool problems and looking at clients log file to find what went wrong. Dont take AE role at this stage in career. When you want to chill somewhere down the line say 10+ years later you can be AE. Definitely not worth the small hike what you get.
If you wanna switch to front end DV, study the material and do internal transfer soon. If your level goes up, it will be difficult to do internal transfer with zero DV work experience.
At what level or YOE does it become hard to switch, even for internal transfer?
Just imagine you are the dv manager. You have a req for 10 yoe engineer. Would you hire someone with 10 yoe irrelevant experience person just because you know the person? However if you have a req for a junior person, you may hire someone with irrelevant experience assuming the person knows some dv concepts etc..
No point in going from one 2nd tier company to another 2nd tier company. Target tier 1's like apple nvda goog fb msft
Don’t t go to AE
TC and share offer or GTFO
Well remember ppl who ever is telling you will do wonders as application engineer lots of hands on and learning curve ... all that is bull shit! They meet customers everyday ! Good sales pitch . .. get to mainstream job design or DV or architecture Unless you like high stress job meeting customers and hand holding them you can skip this opportunity
😆 for Pros Don't make mistake moving to AE
Lol why?
Don’t listen to that BS advice. I started off as an AE, did a lot of interesting things and moved around from one group to another as a generalist. Eventually this helped me build customer facing and debugging skills and landed me a job at Amazon. From here I’m moving to G. AE roles are awesome and gives you flexibility to learn new skills and tech. Cadence is just talking out of his ass
