Nah, we don't do that here, instead ideal entry level applicant should have 5y of experience when applying.

Our ideal apprenticeship applicant must have:

- 5 years of experience in the proprietary, unique-to-our-company tech stack

- a PhD in semiconductor physics (MSc with 10+ years of experience is also acceptable)

- Taiwanese and US citizenship

- a desire to work 16+ hours a day for 6 days a week

I rather hope the mods detach this and the other asinine comments you’ve left across these threads…

Asinine? What I don't want is for potential undergrads to waste their time and money futilely chasing a mirage formed by propaganda.

You can sue me for this, but I don't think lying to starry-eyed teenagers to compete like starved beasts for an ultra long shot at some semblance of a career is a good thing.

When the dust settles, all that they will have learned will be completely and utterly useless and they will have to reskill immediately. How about doing the right thing from the start?
