Carrer switch to Semiconductors
Hey everyone,
I’ve been working in industrial automation for the past 2 years, and I have always been interested in the semiconductor industry.
The problem is — I honestly don’t know where to begin.
My current experience is mostly in automation, so I don’t really have the specific skills or knowledge that semiconductor companies usually look for. Because of that, I’m a bit confused about the best way to make this transition.
Should I consider pursuing a master’s degree to enter this field? Or would it make more sense to start applying to companies in the semiconductor industry and learn on the job?
I’d really love to hear from people already working in this space or from anyone who has made a similar switch in their career. Any advice, roadmap, or reality check would honestly help a lot.
Also, if there are any opportunities, referrals, or even people open to having a conversation about any opportunities, I’d be happy to connect.
Thanks!
