CAREER GUIDANCE

This career guidance session is designed for both recent graduates and trained candidates in the VLSI field. For fresh graduates, we address the confusion around choosing between GATE preparation, VLSI training, M.Tech, and within VLSI, whether to pursue front-end or back-end domains. For trained candidates, we discuss when fresher openings typically arise, what specific skills to enhance, and how to position yourself for opportunities. We also highlight critical industry realities, including the importance of carefully reviewing and understanding employment bonds before signing, and the potential conflicts and struggles many engineers face after joining. Drawing from real industry cases, we aim to provide clarity, direction, and practical strategies to navigate your VLSI career effectively and avoid costly mistakes.
