Hi fellow members,
I am very interested to be a circuit designer. However, it seems very intimidating. I have questions regarding career as Hardware/Circuit Designer. I would like to know the answers from the people who have worked or still working as Electronic Circuit Design Engineers. The questions are:
1. How much time is given to an engineer for designing a circuit.
2. What do these guys do everyday? By that, I mean do they go everyday and start working like a robot working at conveyer belt.
3. How stressful is this job?
4. How difficult is the job for a beginner with Master degree but with zero experience? And more importantly what should such a guy do?
5. What's your opinion about a guy who can design layouts using Eagle (but has only theoretical knowledge of EMC), program Atmel microcontrollers (but never did in industry), cannot use Verilog/VHDL, and have never designed any particularly complicated circuit in any industry?
6. Do they have to sacrifice their social life & work more than 40 hours per week.
Thanks
