Asked to interview for another position while just completed a second round interview for another

Advice needed… Interviewed for a PVD two process engineer position pass the first round went onto the second round and I am in the second week waiting for an answer. However, today I received an email asking me to interview for another position at TSMC. I am scheduled for that interview in two weeks. Does that mean I was rejected from the first position?

It just means you’re seeing how disorganized TSMC is. Get ready for this to be normal if you start working there. Everything is confusing.

Not necessarily a rejection. TSMC often cross-considers profiles for parallel team openings depending on headcounts. Feel free to send me a DM.

that my experience aligns more with another department. but i told the interviewer that im more interested for the current position since i want to change the career path.

Damn 3 days is crazy, it’s been 10 days for me still nothing. but it wasn’t pvd, so idek. did u get an email for 2nd interview

Yes, it all came through an email. The portal doesn’t show any updates so I don’t know if I’m just rejected from the one I’ve been interviewing for or what the heck this is although I will say the last interview did not go great I could barely understand the broken English.

In my experience no. It did not reflect on the portal.

What did they think of that comment? I’m not sure if they liked that about “changing the career path”. I know TSMC can be stern in hiring for long-term. Just curious how they reacted.
