    Welcome to CE, #-Link-Snipped-# and #-Link-Snipped-# .

    It's important to know the reason you wish to make the switch. Without a solid reason, career switch is going to be challenging.

    #-Link-Snipped-#, that's not enough for a switch. What exactly is the reason you're looking to switch? And there are multiple branches in VLSI. Which one are you looking to switch into? Frontend (design, verif), Backend(synthesis, sta, DFT, PD)?

    #-Link-Snipped-#, Salaries are good but it'll be tough start. You'll have to start as a fresher.

    Yes, I have to start as fresher but I am thinking after 5 years i will be in good position as compare to IT Job. Please say your opinion.
    I am thinking a course in VLSI Physical design from Chipedge Bangalore to have knowledge in specific tools and enter into VLSI.

    Switching field is not an easy job and unless you don't have a very good reason it is better to continue, but then again don't think later what would have happened if I would've switched.
    Do your research, but finally take a decision yourself. That way you will not have anyone else to blame and thus will be able to take responsibility to work things out.

    #-Link-Snipped-#‍ - Thanks for your revert. I'm interested in VLSI, due to personal constraints couldn't join in VLSI. Looking at current trend, future, growth, salaries in IT, i look forward to join in VLSI. I have a feeling it would be better than IT after few years from now. Please could you provide your inputs and better way to proceed further.

    #-Link-Snipped-#‍ - I would suggest to remain into VLSI field only and instead of switch filed completely try to explore the VLSI more the things that you are not master right now learn it and use it. I can see VLSI is going to have better application and projects coming in upcoming years.
