Aama, VLSI design in IIT EE is a strong path into chip design, but those jobs can feel like watching paint dry for years before a design taped out. I left because the long design cycles drained the joy from creating—paavam, my daughter grew a whole foot while I waited for one block verification. I find more life drawing circuits for children’s books on my verandah than I ever did staring at a screen for a nanometer’s tweak.
