    > when I working in EU at another major Dutch semiconductor company
Ok, come on, please stop playing this silly HN game of: "another major ... company". There can only be four other options: NXP, SMM, BE Semi, Nexperia.

Or a bit deeper: SMART Photonics, EFFECT Photonics, Nearfield, Prodrive Tech, Neways Elec.

Which one?

Let me respond in the most offensive manner possible: Do you prefer the teat of US or China (or Russia!)? Pick your poison.

It's not a "silly HN game" to not want to doxx yourself. Ironic criticism from someone whose username is 'throwaway2037' lol.

Exactly THAT ONE you mentioned above.

You can't talk about being sovereign if your life depends on someone else's teat.
