Ask the headhunter

M.B. asks:

For more than ten years, I’ve worked for major US chip companies in Moscow. Two years ago, I switched to a design services organization that also works with large international semiconductor outfits. I’ve gained extensive experience there as an analog mixed-signal IC design engineer as well as deep knowledge of the IC design and manufacturing flow (HV BiCMOS, BCD, CMOS, CMOS SoI design processes).

Due to the current circumstances, it’s no longer interesting for me to practice my profession in Russia. All US companies have closed their offices in my country and my current employer hasn’t been able to keep its Western clientele. The entire financial situation has been shaken up. Because international monetary transactions are virtually impossible, I’m afraid I won’t be receiving my salary much longer.
