Looks like the same but i guess it will be only 1 or 2 subject diff during your study.

Did you took circuit theory, digital logic design and/or analog logic design?
If no, then that is the difference.

I notice you likes programming a lot.

yes i did take circuit theory, digital logic design and/or analog logic design.

programming? hehe.. not like but have to... due to the course's compulsory

got "Electronic Computering majoring in engineering"?

BIG

no need sweat... they all ended up working with engineers, computers and electronics.

hehe... by the way, i've heard of electronics and information engineering... and they too ended up with engineers, computers and electronics... a cross of electronic engineering and information technology i guess...

Intel CEO announced today that more stocks will be granted to employee as merits this year. Its to compensate for the no increment direction given earlier.

Guess this makes a lot of people happy.

Yaya. I just heard from my wife as well.

bad thing is the stocks are vested over 4 years
gotta wait one year before can realise any $

That is for stock option, right ? Did they do something on stock purchase at higher price ?

My boy fren was in AMD for 2.5 yrs. He said AMD working environment is the BEST. Cross team interaction, solved problems asa team. Minimum politics (with different countries) within Pg is very very WARM.

He had now moved to new place but never stop missing his working life in AMD, all his colleagues are all very friendly and helpful. Intel? I dont know how many back stabbers all around, good and bad ppl is every where.

He said AMD work environment is one of the best that i ever had.

Maybe he is AMD guy!

the 4 years vesting period is for stock grant (not options)
say if you are given 100 units, it will vest in 4 years , 25 units per year.

as for the stock options, the company is planning to lower the exercise price of previously granted options, but reduce the amount of options on your hand,
say you have 100 options with exercise price of USD60
maybe you will be given the chance to trade the 100 options for 33 options, but exercise price is lowered to USD20
something to that effect. but its not finalised yet.

the company no longer give out options, except to the senior managers.

You're right. No more option! Are you from Intel ?

wow... u know very detail. covert underwater option become able to sell ah ? so nice meh ...

Not only Intel. Agilent did it as well 9 -10 years ago.

anyone working in intel? My friend which is in PG5 said it will closing soon also, is it correct? Everyday got nothing to do just wait time to pass, but due to current eco, everyone need pretend to be busy.
