Jumping to employment - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

-- Anecdotes, Gripes & Humor

Hi asim569,

I'd say that for doing RF design work in today's commercial product (or MIL) environment that you can't get to an acceptable level of proficiency on your own. There are too many "gotcha" scenarios, and the test equipement needed to test and verify designs is too expensive for the vast majority of people.

It's going to be hard to break into the RF business with this worldwide recession and lower demand for products, but be persistent. There are a lot of field service jobs available for wireless operators, so that is a good place to get some experience.

If you can afford it I'd recommend staying in school for a graduate degree, even PhD if you acn afford it. By the time you graduate from that, the market will probably be better.

Good luck.
