A Simple Method for Choosing a Chip Design Company
February 25, 2013
In 2005 I applied for a job in Singapore. The job required some technical and business skills and therefore the interview was a bit tricky.
One part of the interview related to estimating market size. They asked me to estimate the number of Piano Tuning companies which are currently active in Tokyo, Paris and New Zealand. For the young readers, these are usually one-person company that tunes clients’ piano at their homes. Tuning is not required very often, maybe only every 1-2 years.
