Although passion to the work you doing is important, do not forget that there is a lot of other things around you. Spending time with you friends and family is also important for your mental health and increases the total quality of your life. For me sometimes it is quite boring to talk to people who only can talk about their work and rumors inside the company. I believe that finding a hobby, reading books or watching movies not only makes you less stressed but also makes you more interesting person to talk with. Life is full of interesting people and opportunities, do not miss them!

What do you like about your job and the company?
I believe it is important to be proud of work you doing. Just think about it - you spent 1/3 of your live in the working place, so you probably do not want to spend it just for money. If you actually like the work you doing, this will give you a sense of purpose and motivation to move forward. If you continuously wake up in the morning with a feeling that you do not want to go to work today then maybe you have to think about some other opportunities for your life path
Greatest achievements
One part of the job that I really like is that I have a lot of projects requiring me to work with many different people from all over the world to achieve the target. I find it very satisfying, when the team with the members from America, Japan and Taiwan are combining efforts to achieve one goal that will contribute to the success of the whole company. This not only allows you to make a lot of connections and friends around the world, but also make the taste of the shared victory for another finished project even sweeter.

For new graduates many fields of engineering are new concepts. For example Design for test can never be conceived in a graduates mind. Before joining design for test my thinking was restricted to only traditional design. This is in all accounts great to be a designer that you concentrate on the deeper circuit concepts. However unlike design limited to only a few circuits where one becomes a professional, in Design for test you get to experience how the whole design comes together. This gives a design for test engineer an edge in understanding design implications to things like yield, testability cost. Especially the cost of testing is the back-bone of production in pursuit of quality and affordability. But DFT sits at the sweet spot that enables an engineer to enjoy the best of both worlds of actual design and production. As an entrant, one would be looking for those positions where they can learn the most from to build their career. And DFT can be one of those positions.

Work is very important for sure! But in the end we should not forget we are humans, and too much work will burn you out. Actually, an excess of anything is not healthy in our lives (think about too much sport, too much eating, too much sleep etc.), and we need balance in our lives. I firmly believe that working SMART will bring way more benefits than just work HARD, especially in our industry. In fact engineers do not chose the semiconductor industry for the ease, but at Micron I am able to achieve what I could not in my previous company: work effectively AND a balanced life.
