A 10-year account from working on-site at TCM

Benefits: So-so

Job content: All the required protective equipment is provided. Whether it is good or not depends on where you are stationed; TSMC’s protective equipment is quite good.

Transportation: Contractors have no guarantees, and parking spaces are extremely difficult to find.

Salary: Over 10 years, the average raise was NT$500.

Other: Guaranteed 12 months of annual salary (ha). Gift vouchers are given for the three major holidays and birthdays. It is normal not to receive a mid-year or year-end bonus; you only find out whether one will be paid the day before. The overseas travel subsidy is small and expensive.... Someone else can fill in the rest.
