Woman’s offer rescinded due to pregnancy
Post si sys validation is a dead end .. will be very hard to get in design later.
This. Don’t go with TC, the roles are different. Those jobs moved to Asia.
DFT is pretty much flow based and lot of jobs go to Asia as well, take high tc offer right now but still prepare for RTL design interviews within company or externally if that’s what you want to do.
Intel
xilinx is better shot. more learning .
If going with that Intel job, that role will be outsourced very soon with little room for growth. Intel is a fine company but X has a better role if you want to become an RTL engineer
