bobian lo, if no job mismatch, got req. then G6 ok lah.
I no masters. Masters really might be abit help only salary only lah.

Alot of Masters manage to get GT -> G5 conversation.
Else GT (Undergrad) -> G5 won't be happening anytime soon, or very rare.
But I feel if the candidate is skilled. Then sure no issues.

nope. No transport and phone allowance.
But Intel has Travel Shuttle in between work.
Technically I was given linearity to be able to WFH for these past 4 years.

I am technically happier I am closer to my friends and family in KL.
Rather than to adapt and surviving in Penang. When the office is near vacant since reopening.
With all new faces that I never meet before.

When you know Intel India, pays higher than Intel Malaysia, you know how drastically underpaid our Malaysians Intel Engineers are.
Are we are truly the 3rd world country, worst than India.

RIP Intel Home Shuttle Driver - Pak Ilias :'(

Pak Ilias was a kind, cheery talkactive and nice person, always pick us up on time.
Even if he accidentally left one of us, he would purposely U-turn and make sure everyone gets to office or home one...

Hope Pak Ilias is in a better place now...

yes. jump outside also ok la.
but Altera can hire that many i dunno la.

but I can try help filter through job req.

/heh/ that day my boss so opening discuss with me. Allegedly no heard this thing.
But some other very old2 seniors openly discussing at the cubes, I accidentally overheard last week.

I can we need to have a number of "HUAT" days need to be in office.
Special considerations for us more than last time x meters of radius outside of Penang people.

Just return oppis last week, suddenly need call back ada "Wellness" "morale" budget to claim this week.
Everyone scrambles balik to work next week.

So L structure company doing well? Morale good? Listen to ex-Colleague that you know she more happier edi now...

Off topic:
But anyone in Sg Ara got an extra bicycle ah? Prefer can fold one.... Or recommended a place to get a cheap second hand bike and safety gear.
I planning to risk my life cycle along Relau -> Bayan Baru -> PG16 to work and shower on campus liao. Since I might have no rights to sit Intel Home Shuttle and transit in between Home <-> PG12 <-> PG16 no more. If PG16 no longer owns by Altera.

recently meet a gila 27 year old married Type M Intel staff told me he cycles to work via Giant -> Snake Temple -> PG16 to work last time.
I'm edi jaw dropped. Since I hardly seen someone in office on a bike. Mostly see walking cases.

/heh/ yes should have some few new Alteran faces now joining Lattice edi in post silicon team.

/heh/ normally for the list of cut peoples, Managers or Directors provide the list right.
those key persons like Seniors IC Designers won't normally get the package, they try to counter offer, but sadly, normally they just throw letter and resign themselves. If grass is greener on the other side.

Saw many people send bye bye email from Team Alt :'(

Sandra to Marvell's CTO's Raghib yep.
But Marvell's Singapore heard now sold to Infineon

Singapore that way ---> can suffer and earn 3x ....

Intel Stocks peaked to $32.3 thanks for Jensen from NVidia.
Hopefully this funding will make Intel relevant for the awhile before AMD makes the next move.

Seems like x86 still have some juice to milk out before Apple with its Macs slowly eating marking share.

Leaking inside Intel Building news.
Alterans in Intel PG14/15/16 will no longer have full access to the buildings and facilities starting Sept 12.
Limited access to Labs, and PG 14 Cafe, PG15 L2/L3 offices, other return back to Intel.

Alterans employees are no longer able to access PG 12-PG 16 shuttles... Or use other PG12/7/8 Buildings and their cafes...
Unless maybe registering as a visitor accompanied by an Intel staff?*

No idea how security works now.

wont be so, most of my intel folks stilll in other states, building capacity will be still tight until PG17 is up

same thing, Altera in L2/L3 not sufficient space one. depends how essential your role and do you need to be there to work productively
for my role. online meeting can settle.

alot of them still working outside of Penang.

Technically Auditorium even for Intel usage, is also "BU rental"
so technically not much difference I believe.

No idea what have the Cafe has become.
Kesian to those always take large rice and one meat people...

All InHell Cafes in Malaysia operated by the same operator...
No idea how they gonna cut down the queue time tho....

No idea. Most likely if uncle open one eye, close one eye. Ok la.
Most likely too many Miskin Intellers and Alterans makan high carb diet 🥺

Eat mountain of carbs of rice, and one protein or Banjir Kuah.
