Idk whether this will be beneficial or interesting but it is just something that I wish to share.
So I did my summer internship in INTEL Penang, under Device Development Group. So basically, they are the mastermind behind the chip designs. I was asked to prepare myself with Unix, Perl and Tcl language which I have zero knowledge in it. I bet neither any of the intern.
I was assigned to the backend design which is to place the verilog code from the frontend to the schematic layout. After a series of bootcamp and training, I was given a sequential task to help my team. Guess what, it's a coding task. 🌚
So I need to learn the language from scratch and familiarise myself with the backend tools and flows. Alhamdulillah, I managed to finish the task. Still can't believe it.
So here what's I learnt from this internship. As a total freshie, I have to seek guidance from people. So communication is the main key here. Things WON'T come to you, you have to find everything yourself. From day 1, you have to figure out and settle down asap because NO one is going to usher you one by one.
The next one is to be a fast learner. All the tasks given have dateline, so you have to get it done by all means. Trust me, you are most probably didn't encounter these stuff during university time, so new things have to be learnt in a short period of time. Do not feel challenged by your smart colleagues and work together instead. Try not get too stressful over it!
Last but not least, enjoy what you are doing! Join social clubs, sports, volunteering, team building, etc so you would feel less work stress and have a more balanced life. Things would never work out at the first place, so don't worry, keep going. I'm not sure whether this will work for everyone, but dressing up to work is good to boost the mood. 😆
By doing internship, I finally realised that university life is much more fun that working life. So, enjoy your studies while you can before a greater responsibility kicks off.

to love what you do. - Steve Jobs 🦋
