From what I understand there is some in Germany / Austria as well. I assume France/Italy are the same. There's at least one big company in each of Belgium, Bulgaria, The Checz republic, Poland. The automotive ones aren't hiring but everyone else should be fine. I found razavi's book very enlightening on the subject.\r\n\r\n[https://www.amazon.com/Design-Analog-CMOS-Integrated-Circuits/dp/0072380322](https://www.amazon.com/Design-Analog-CMOS-Integrated-Circuits/dp/0072380322)\r\n\r\nAlso this course by berkley gives you the background behind a graduate level Analog Course\r\n\r\n[http://www.infocobuild.com/education/audio-video-courses/electronics/ee240-spring2010-berkeley.html](http://www.infocobuild.com/education/audio-video-courses/electronics/ee240-spring2010-berkeley.html)\r\n\r\n(without the practice that is)\r\n\r\nI basically did analog design up until I graduated and had a job lined up but decided to move back home and then couldn't find a firm that hired analog designers there so I moved to software of all things lol.","subreddit_name":"chipdesign","author":"notsofunnynowehh"},{"body":"Yeah, but it's true even for good books.  For example, [this](http://www.amazon.com/Design-Analog-CMOS-Integrated-Circuits/dp/0072380322/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) is one of the best introductory books on analog CMOS.  Note the large number of 1-2 star reviews, most of which complain about it being \"too hard\".  That book is as dumbed down as it gets.\r\n\r\n[This](http://www.amazon.com/Linear-Algebra-Applications-Updated-CD-ROM/dp/0321287134/ref=sr_1_3?s=books\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1337840167\u0026amp;sr=1-3) is one of the better beginner books on linear algebra.  Again, very basic stuff, and reasonably well done.  Again, note the very large number of 1-star reviews complaining about how hard it is.\r\n","subreddit_name":"ECE","author":"psycoee"}]}
