Dear Team,

This is not related to any circuit design.I need your opinion.My question is given below.

I am a hardware board design engineer, and I want to move to Analog IC design. Will a part-time PhD help me in this?

May I know whether industry consider part time PhD holders.

Regards

I am facing some roadblock related to salary, I am ready for a salary cut. Also hiring managers are telling that you need to work with freshers they will learn fast and you won't be able to match their speed. I know your comments about this.

Now I suppose it is your job to convince them. From what I have experienced, if you can, try to get hold of an actual Technical manager as opposed to a non-technical HR guys. HR guys will just look at some metrics and will not value your previous experience just because it is in a different domain. From the HR perspective, you are someone who has been in the corporate world and not someone they can manipulate from scratch.

It might be much easier to convince a technical manager. At least, ask them to conduct an interview so that they can gauge your knowledge.

PS, A person with work experience, even from a very different domain, can bring in a certain amount of work ethic and discipline that takes years to mold, which would not be there for a fresher. You just need to articulate this to the hiring managers.

Definitely, I will talk to tech manager. Hope I can convince him.
May I know did you get some time to check the videos(IC Design Course) .
If yes please share your opinion .

Please see one demo class video below.

I watched several segments of the video. The narrator speaks in long sentences, which is a challenge to remember what he said toward the beginning of the sentence.

It was easier to understand after I turned on subtitles and sped up playback. (Can you listen to speech of all instructors and choose one whose speech is easiest for you to understand?

To absorb it all requires several viewings. (Their FAQ page states you're permitted to playback videos more than once.)

I looked at different pages of the website. It's arranged well. Course descriptions go into details which are pertinent (judging from what I see in discussions here at Edaboard).

Their online classes are broadcast at certain times. Is this convenient for you? For your internet hookup? Your computer's reliability? Ability to run Cadence? (They state Cadence is a contemporary EDA tool they make available.)

They state you can receive live one-on-one instruction online. It's a definite plus if merely a Zoom meeting with screen sharing.

* Have you seen this school among a list of approved institutes?
At hiring companies, etc.?

* How does this school test your knowledge?

* After you pass final exams do they mail you a graduation certificate?

They have tie up with some companies

This is a private training institute. They won't test my knowledge before joining.
Pay the money grab the seat.

* After you pass final exams do they mail you a graduation certificate?

Yes they will give a certificate

I heard that the course was well-structured. This included topics such as basic circuit analysis, operational amplifiers, feedback amplifiers, oscillators, and data converters.
