Hello Folks,

Happens a lot these days, last time an hour ago: Someone is looking for an analog/mixed signal engineer (this time low power design). I could do it but they absolutely want to have someone on staff. Which I can't do. So, I often try to convince them to settle for a youngster who gets coached now and then, instead of sitting there a year from now still trying to find the perfect candidate.

Which US or Canadian university lets off the best analog/mixed EEs? I know, I know, many can't even solder etc. It ain't like it used to be. But there has got to be an alma mater that sticks out. Or maybe a particular institute at one. And please, no pissing contests.


Try out Montana State and the University of Colorado.


Thanks, that's a start. I just fear that guys who've lived in places like that would not enjoy Bay Area life (I wouldn't). But definitely worth a try.

It's amazing what a W-2 form can do to motivate someone--ask me how I know, I've lived in NY for 20 years now.


Has to have the right numbers in there. Big bucks will motivate. It's just that in the Bay Area it needs to be really big bucks.

It's also a matter of lifestyle. Country folks (like me) may tough it out for a while but many of our neighbors are Bay Area transplants. People who packed it all up the millisecond they retired.


I hate the Bay Area--I went to school there, and very nearly went to work at HP Labs on Page Mill Road in Palo Alto, which was about six blocks from where I lived at the time...but fortunately IBM's offer came through before HP's. If I believed in chance, I'd feel lucky. As it is, I feel blessed. ;)

Cheers,

Phil "Same lab for 18 years now" Hobbs


Poughkeepsie? That's where my father had to go, looong flights back in them days. He worked at IBM in Germany.

It would definitely be too cold up there for my wife. Her ideal place would be where winter simply doesn't happen. Like Hawaii, but there is no work for me and getting to clients would take forever.
