Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
As someone who enjoys travelling and experiencing different cultures, I am thrilled by the opportunities that TSM presents to learn more about the start-up scene and entrepreneurial spirit in Silicon Valley. I am excited to learn about the motivations of the founders and the birth story of these start-ups as we go on different company visits. Working in Silicon Valley has always been a dream and visiting Silicon Valley would be a great inspiration for me to continue working towards what I have always wanted. Furthermore, I believe that TSM will be an amazing chance for me to meet new friends and work with them on a different level, as we embark on the exciting journey of TSM.

Silicon Valley: Visa, PayPal, Alphabet, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Nvidia, Zoom
Visa is on top of the list as I interned there for 2 summers and I believe this would be a great opportunity for me to meet my internship managers in physically as well.
