Should i accept the offer?

[givensoo]

I am a graduate student from china.Now a company gives me an offer.The job is mainly about anolog&digital mixed verification.I am not sure about the job is good for my career or not.Because,i prefer design much better.
So would anyone could say about that?If i took the job,what will i turn to be in a few years?Is it hard to change to design again?Thx you all

It's depend on your interest and knowledge. There are still some changes if you want to do design some years later. Layout knowledge is necessary for analog designer.

If you need a work immediatly, take it for the meanwhile but don't stop looking around.

How about the PLL's performace? Do you have analog layout experience? If yes, why not find a design job directly? Please do not decide to accept this job immedieatly and try to find another chance.

Mixed signal verification is challaging job, but I think it is better to find a job which you like, then enjoy it. I think it is different form design.

Good luck

I like mixed signal verification, but i am concerned about the future career prospects. I hear ppl telling that rtl verification has become a commodity(lot of ppl in rtl verification), is that true of mixed signal verification? will mixed signal verification introduce you to system issues (will it give a broad picture of the whole design?) or is it narrow in scope like analog design? I would like to hear from ppl already in mixed signal verification.

Sorry to say this but nearly everobody has experience in pll, lna etc ane calls him/her self designer.
Today those blocks are fashionable to make at university but trust me it is quite different from real product.
