The hiring drive comes despite a global downturn in the chip
industry.
According to TSMC, the company will seek young engineers with
associates, bachelor's, masters's or doctorate degrees in
electrical engineering or software-related fields, in cities all
across Taiwan.
The average overall salary of a new engineer with a master's
degree is T$2 million ($65,578.07), the company added.
A decline in demand for electronics and high inventory levels
following a shortage of some chips have led to a downturn for
the semiconductor industry.
Since late 2022, a number of chip companies around the world
have reined in investments.
Intel Corp recently announced that it would cut payments to
mid-level staff and executives from 5% to 25%.
TSMC's dominance in making some of the most advanced chips for
high-end customers such as Apple Inc has shielded it from
downturn.
The company slightly reduced its annual capital expenditure for
2023 and predicts a first-quarter revenue drop, but has said it
expects demand to pick up by the second half of this year.
