Tech war: China’s young chip-making talent jostles for work in a tight semiconductor job market amid economic slowdown
More than 700 job seekers descended upon a semiconductor job fair in Shanghai on Mar 3, where only 500 jobs were available, illustrating a tight job market in an industry of increasing strategic importance for China amid escalating US sanctions.
"I expect the annual salary to be about 50,000 yuan higher than what I can get in a traditional material company," she said, suggesting that she expects a starting salary of about 200,000 yuan . The domestic chip industry is trying to ramp up production and research and development as it faces increasingly stringent sanctions from Washington that have cut China off from certain forms of advanced chips and chip-making equipment, in particular chips used to train artificial intelligence and equipment capable of manufacturing using advanced process nodes.
Zhang Xiaoli, who is in his final year at Shanghai University of Engineering Science, said he decided to join the industry to"do his part for China’s chip self-reliance".
