When I finished my phd in materials science I interviewed and got an offer at applied for $120k/yr in 2019.
No thanks.
Throughout my time in grad school I saw leaders in the semiconductor industry talk to professors and complain about how they can no longer get the best talent and that every one is going to software.
Well, have you looked at what you're paying and what you're asking to get for that money? And then they complain about nobody wanting to work anymore.
So yeah when I see these bs pr pieces about how important they are, how come they're not valued higher and pay better salaries? The talk and the reality don't match.
