TSMC Software Engineer interview experience

A lot of the questions were about work ethic and how quickly I can learn, with the technical prompts tied back to previous projects.

I remember being asked about how I approached new problems—basically walking through my thought process from the work I’d already done. The overall vibe was that they were trying to gauge whether I’d keep up and whether I’d be willing to learn and work hard.

I didn’t end up getting a second-round offer, but the whole thing didn’t feel hostile. It was more of a direct screening for “can you ramp up and keep pace,” and I took that as the main takeaway.
