Business Outlook
Pros
To be with family in Taiwan. People in Taiwan admire you when you are working in TSMC. The company won't fire people for now, so your job is stable and secured. The job is easy and routine, which leads to good life-work balance if your manager is not mean.
Cons
Salary is really low compared to big companies in the US. Not much career growth opportunities. Living is not easy in Hsinchu since the salary is only half of what you will get in the US, but the living cost is similar to San Jose. The environment and traffic is terrible in Hsinchu as well.
