rx300 said:It shouldn't be hard to find a job in CA with your level of experience, unless your requirement of compensation is very high.
Lately I noticed one trend: all the IC companies are moving jobs to India/China. The company I work for has set up an R&D center in India where they hired > 500 ASIC designers. Of course the company has been reducing the number of ASIC designers in US locations. Maybe in a few years, ASIC jobs in US will be very rare. It's sad, but it's very likely to happen.

sutapanaki said:there is one thing I keep asking myself when it comes to IC design - what would be worth pursuing with respect to the future trends - digital ASIC design or analog/mixed-signal design. I consider designing digital functions on transistor level, especially for high-speed as mixed-signal design. What do you think?
Also, any idea how's the job market for analog designers in the Silicon Valley?

Same thing, except for RF IC designer.
flatulent said:What makes silicon valley different is several things. There are several top engineerng schools in the area (Stanford, UC Berkeley) and several regular grade ones. All of these turn out trained workers who like the local area and want to stay. I have been told that there are 5000 technology companies in the area to hire them. This area was originally agricultural and so there were no non-engineering companies. This is probably the only place in the world where there are square miles of engineering only companies.
flatulent said:I am not familiar with silicon valley to that detail. How do you know that there is a shortage of RF people there? One of my old friends works for a RF consulting firm there and they are short of customers. Another of my friends has friends there working in RFIC development. They are going ahead in designing chips they hope someone will buy because they have not had paying customers for the past year.
