#Technology #Thread #Semiconductor #Manufacturing #Wafer The Semiconductor Workforce Reality Check: 1/ - There Has Been A Buzz Going On For The Last Few Years That There Is A Shortage Of Semiconductor Trained Workforce. - While I Cannot Comment On Reality With 100% Certainty. As I See It, There Is No Shortage. - Instead, There Is A Superalignment Problem. - Ah, Not The AI One. But Between What Companies Need And What Skills Job Seekers Have. ---- 2/ - And, After Some Thoughts. All This Boils Down To The Following: -- Misalignment Of Skills and Job Requirements: Specific Skills Missing -- Geographic Disparities: Location Issues. Jobs And Seekers In Different Places -- Education And Training: Outdated Or Irrelevant Skills. Lack Of Continuous Education -- Recruitment Processes: Poor Hiring Practices. Prolonged Hiring Deters Candidates ---- 3/ - Continue: -- Workforce Flexibility: Contract Work over Preference For Permanent Jobs -- Over Qualification: Overqualified For The Job Or Relevant Qualified Job Not Available In The Region Candidate Is -- Economic Factors: The Cyclic Nature Of The Industry's Boom-Bust Cycle Impacts Hiring Even With The Right Set Of Candidates -- Compensation Issues: Pay Does Not Match Skill Levels And Is Insufficient To Attract Top Talent. ---- 4/ - I Will Not Comment On How To Fix This. ---- 5/ - But Definitely. It Is A Superalignment (Again, Not The AI One) Problem. - Let Us See How The Ongoing Work Training And Curriculum Enhancement Will Help In The Long-Term. ---- #chetanpatil - Chetan Arvind Patil - www.ChetanPatil.in

New York’s hottest company is… VAST Data. This place has everything: data mystics, servers that double as dance floors, and a secret co-founder who only communicates through interpretive dance. It’s like working in a disco ball that’s also a sentient thinking machine. You want perks? How about an unlimited vacation policy where you leave work on Friday and come back as a 3D hologram? The break room? Oh honey, it’s a sensory deprivation tank filled with cold brew. And the culture? So flat, even their organizational chart is a pancake. This company is so exclusive, their Slack channels are invite-only. But the real showstopper? The "Innovation Studio," where you brainstorm inside a giant Rubik’s Cube while a DJ remixes your SFDC leads and jira tickets. So if you’re ready to innovate while raving in a server room and redefining “work-life balance” to mean “time travel,” head to VAST Data. It’s the only place where your promotion comes with a secret handshake and a VPN to Skynet. * Positions open globally.

A clear vision from the very beginning, hard work from super skilled people, and a lot of fun along the way. Look where it has brought us. A $30M series B funding round 💪 If you don’t know what we’re doing at Encord, the video gives the TLDR and the blog post in the comments gives the details 👌 Before joining Encord almost three years ago, I asked our CEO Eric in my first interview “Why labels?”. He corrected me, “It’s not labels, it’s the data!” 📀 Eric (and Ulrik) was right back then, they’re right today, and so they will be in the future. Predictive and generative machine learning (AI) stands on three pillars; compute, model size, and training data. While the former two are mostly commodities by now, the data is what will set one company apart from the others in the AI race. What we have been building for the data “pillar” already is remarkable. Data management, best of class automated labeling tools, model evaluation tools, workforce orchestration, and much more. With this raise, we can build more, better, and faster. I just can’t wait. So much fun ahead of us 👷♂️🏗️🚧 Want to be a part of it? We are hiring 🤙 (see comments)
