I recently completed my M.S. in Materials Science, and somewhat unexpectedly, I was contacted for an interview for a Module Process Engineer position at Fab 21.
The opportunity surprised me because I didn’t directly apply for this role. I had applied to a different position at TSMC quite a while ago and wasn’t expecting to hear back. Most of my background is in aerospace and metallurgy rather than semiconductors, so I’m curious why they thought I’d be a good fit.
I’ve seen a lot of mixed opinions online about both TSMC and the Process Engineer role. Is it really as bad as people make it out to be?
Also, if anyone has experience with the interview process or the day-to-day job, I’d appreciate any advice.

I’ve noticed that in a lot of English dubs and translations, the Kansai dialect is often represented with a Southern U.S. accent.

I think personally it doesn’t match at all in vibes because as someone living in Texas. Southern to me sounds like a rural and laid-back with a slight family vibe to it. Makes an older character feel like an aunt who would serve you sweet tea or uncle a who would teach you how to BBQ.

From my little understanding of Japanese and hanging out with my friends from Osaka, the dialect gives a vibe that is a lot more urban. Being quippy, comedic and slightly more direct than regular Japanese.

I feel like one of the various New York accents might fit better in terms of energy and personality. New York taxi drivers for example have a reputation that’s seems to fit a similar vibe.

What do native speakers think would be a better fit? And while on the topic what other dialects would y’all have localized to in English?
