1. Highly competitive salary:
For new master's degree graduates, the annual salary is approximately NT$1.2 million, excluding overtime. Overtime is paid at twice the hourly rate.
2. Excellent company benefits. Someone is assigned to buy breakfast in the morning, and the travel allowance is NT$60,000 per year.
3. There are frequent opportunities for overseas training, potentially in the United States, China, or Israel, with all expenses fully covered by the company.
1. CSE (Customer Service Engineer): The work is low-level, consisting of tasks such as tightening screws and wiping down equipment with lint-free cloths (PM). To put it bluntly, it is essentially being a highly paid manual laborer, and doing the same thing day after day can make you question the purpose of what you learned.
2. If you are assigned to a TSMC BU, customers often make unreasonable demands. Irregular mealtimes, spending long periods in the cleanroom (more than 8 hours), and working overtime until the middle of the night are absolutely the norm.
3. Changing jobs is difficult. The saying “once equipment, always equipment” is not untrue. After middle age, declining physical stamina can make continuing to work overtime and remain on call difficult. Anyone considering becoming a CSE should think carefully about their future plans first.
