I’m a 2026 Masters graduate from a Tier-1 institute and have completed an internship at NVIDIA.

I’m currently looking for full-time opportunities in the hardware/semiconductor/VLSI industry, particularly in:

RTL Design

Design Verification

STA / Timing

Physical Design

Other ASIC/SoC roles

I’m open to opportunities across any location in India and would appreciate any leads, referrals, or advice on companies currently hiring 2026 graduates in these areas.

I’m a 27-year-old guy, and I met someone online about a year ago, and we really hit it off. She was a doctor, working on her postgraduate degree, and had just gone through a tough breakup - her ex had moved to another country after they'll spent six years together in college, and that's when things finally came to an end for them.

We met on a website and just hit it off. We started chatting every day, sharing everything about our lives. She was a resident, so her schedule was crazy, but as soon as she finished her shift, we'd catch up on a call. We'd talk about our days, what was going on, and just random stuff. It was like we had known each other forever. Even though she was really busy, we always made time to talk.

This went on for around 10–11 months.

Over that time, I obviously got attached. It became a part of my daily routine, and I started genuinely caring about her.

One day, without any warning, she sent me a text message that caught me off guard. She said she couldn't keep talking to me like we were, and that she needed someone who could be there for her in person, whenever she needed them. It seemed like she wanted more than just an online connection, and I couldn't blame her for that. She needed someone who could offer her real-life support and companionship, not just a virtual presence. Her message made me realize that online relationships can only go so far, and sometimes people need human interaction to feel truly connected and supported.

It was pretty clear what she was getting at, but that didn't make it any less painful. We'd been talking almost daily for around 10 or 11 months, so it was really weird to just stop communicating altogether.

I know that technically, it was "just an online connection," but after spending that much time talking to someone and sharing your life with them, it doesn't really feel that simple.

I'm curious—has anyone else experienced something similar? Getting genuinely attached to someone you met online, talking almost every day for months, and then having that person suddenly leave because they realized they needed something different?

How did you deal with it? Did you eventually stop thinking about them?

I recently completed my masters in VLSI from a Tier-1 college with an 8.5+ CGPA and have internship experience at Google as a Physical Design Engineer.

I’m currently looking for full-time opportunities. If I get an offer from a service-based company, should I take it or wait for a few more months for a product-based opportunity?

Would appreciate advice from people working in the VLSI/semiconductor industry.
