I too am ex-Intel. The majority of employment opportunities are in the fab but that’s mostly manufacturing and technicians. It’s not mostly PhDs with no breadth knowledge which is what the original comment was seeming to imply.

PTD is almost entirely PhDs.

Not denying that, but you previously claimed that “the largest portion of the company is related to the fab.” If you’re saying PTD PhDs are this “largest portion of the company” in terms of engineers, that makes no sense. Intel isn’t hiring more PhDs than Masters/Bachelor – there aren’t enough PhDs out there for that to ever happen.

The majority of Intel employees are directly related to the fab, but those employees are not mostly PhDs without many other job prospects.
