Dear Group,
I am a two-year experience digital IC designer. But I feel tired about this job.
Since only about 20% project time doing design but 80% doing verify, the job seems boring to me.
I am wondering if I should switch to firmware job.
But, some senior engineers told me follows:
First, firmware engineer seems less important than IC designer.
Second, firmware engineer is not so hard to enter; many college students can do that job well.
Third, if you want to stay in U.S, IC design is better than firmware since more and more software effort will be done in India and China.
What’s your opinion?
