Tan went on to become the CEO of Integrated Circuit Systems Inc. When this was sold to Integrated Device Technology Inc, he became the latter company's chairman.

In 2015, Tan merged the company with Broadcom Corporation following an acquisition, leading to the creation of Broadcom Inc which he currently runs.
In November 2017 Broadcom announced that it had completed its move from Singapore back to the United States in a move which Tan claimed at the time would yield $20 billion yearly in revenue for the US Treasury.[7]
In April 2020 Tan drew criticism when it was announced that he was forcing employees of Broadcom to return to work for 1 week a month during the COVID-19 outbreak.[8] In September 2020, Tan stated that all Broadcom employees were working in the office in Asia excluding India, and 50% in North America.[9]
In 2023, Tan's total compensation from Broadcom was $161.8 million, up 167% from the previous year and representing a CEO-to-median worker pay ratio of 510-to-1 for the company, as well as making Tan the third highest paid CEO in the US that year.[10]

2017 年 11 月，博通宣布已完成從新加坡遷回美國的計劃，Tan 當時聲稱此舉將為美國財政部帶來每年 200 億美元的收入。

2023 年，譚從博通獲得的總薪酬為1.618 億美元，比上一年增長167%，該公司首席執行官與中位員工的薪酬比例為510 比1，也使譚成為薪酬第三高的首席執行官那年在美國。

St Cuthbert's Way is a 100-kilometre (62 mi) long-distance trail between the Scottish Borders town of Melrose and Lindisfarne (Holy Island) off the coast of Northumberland, England.[1] The walk is named after Cuthbert, a 7th-century saint, a native of the Borders who spent his life in the service of the church. The route links Melrose Abbey, where Cuthbert began his religious life, with his initial burial place on Holy Island.[3] Cuthbert achieved the status of bishop, and was called a saint eleven years after his death, when his coffin was opened and his remains found to be perfectly preserved.[4]
Br Harold's Requiem Mass and Funeral
哈羅德弟兄的安魂彌撒與葬禮
安魂彌撒於 11 月 7 日星期四上午 10 點 30 分在 St Mary Immaculate Church, Whittingham NE66 4SY 舉行。
2024 年 11 月 8 日星期五上午 11 點在 Shepherds Law 舉行普世葬禮，隨後在教堂門廊附近下葬。
Shepherds Law 將於 2024 年 11 月 7 日星期四下午 3 點舉行遺體接待儀式。
It first occurred to me to visit Shepherd’s Law last October, though it beats me why I never thought of it before. Something jogged my mind and I remembered that there was a hermit here, in Northumberland, on a hill not far away, and that I’d been curious about him since I was a child. So I bundled my husband and my small son into the car and took the A697 to Powburn. As we drove, I explained to my son whom we were looking for.
我告訴哈羅德‧帕爾默弟兄，他一定已經90多歲了，他一個人住，在他的山上祈禱了50年。我祖母認識他，我說。她常常把蛋糕放在路底的一個盒子裡給他。
我的祖母莫莉愛一位聖人。她是聖方濟各協會（SSF）的好朋友，該協會是哈洛德弟兄當時所屬的英國聖公會。 1960 年代，她幫助他們在諾森布里亞海岸的阿爾恩茅斯找到了一座修道院。哈羅德是最早住在那裡的人之一，但他從未定居下來。他感受到了自己特殊使命的持續牽引，當我出生時，它已經把他從修道院中拉了出來，受到了各種宗教領袖的青睞，進入了這個與世隔絕的諾森伯蘭領域。
我們一家人和我一起登上哈羅德山，在燦爛的陽光和強風中，到達幾個世紀以來被稱為“牧羊人法則”的地方。 「當哈羅德弟兄到達時，這裡沒有庇護所，」我告訴我的兒子。 「連棚子都沒有！一切都是他自己做的。在山頂，我們發現了哈羅德建造的冬宮：牢房、鐘樓和令人驚嘆的小教堂。按照正統傳統，你可以稱其為“skette”，只為一兩個沉思者和奇怪的訪客提供空間。
但這是封閉的。我們嘗試了牢房的門和教堂的門。全部鎖定。兒子拉動鈴繩，風吹過長長的草叢。感覺就像是在哀悼的地方。哈羅德出了什麼事？在接下來的幾周里，我透過電子郵件和查閱發現，簡短的答案是，哈羅德兄弟還活著，儘管很虛弱。他於 10 月 4 日上午去世——聖方濟各節。
最後，只要有可能，他就去他的山上。我認識了他的一群優秀朋友，透過他們我認識了他本人，並在這些朋友為他製作的網站上閱讀了他的回憶錄。
我不太確定這是會議、回憶錄還是山上的寂靜，但我也以某種方式完全相信哈羅德弟兄是真實的——上帝現實的見證人——而且牧羊人法則是一個神聖的地方。 「我不是祈禱天才，」哈羅德曾經告訴《老歌》。 “我只是一個知道上帝存在的普通人。”很難解釋我對此感到多麼興奮。
將英國視為基督教國家再次成為一種時尚，但以一種悲傷、哀傷的「西方之死」的方式。保羅·金斯諾斯(Paul Kingsnorth) 最近寫了一篇題為《那些腳是不是：尋找英國靈魂》的文章，他在文中討論了彼得·艾克羅伊德(Peter Ackroyd) 的書《英國靈魂》 (The English Soul)，並呼籲（不抱太大希望）一批新的精神戰士：21 世紀的布萊克、貝德斯和班揚斯。 「英格蘭，你可以再次轉向光明，」他說。 「有一條狹窄的小路，它會帶你穿過山毛櫸，到達巫婆羅門……教堂還在那裡，但長椅上現在空了，只剩下鬼魂了。英格蘭，你在哪裡？你在哪裡？
好吧，英格蘭處於牧羊人法則之中，而哈羅德弟兄在世時也是如此。它存在於那些從不畏縮自己使命的人身上。即使哈羅德弟兄帶領他脫離英國國教並進入天主教會，他也沒有動搖。 「幾個月後，我開始感到奇怪的不舒服，」他寫道。 「生活中的確定性和熟悉的地標變得不穩定，我感覺自己好像在自由落體，不知道自己會降落在哪裡。然後，在某一刻，我看到自己好像在一個盒子裡，外面寫著“聖弗朗西斯協會”，但我從盒子的底部掉了下來，最終進入了諾森布里亞修道院聖徒的聖餐中。從那時起，他就為教會的團結祈禱。
我在聖島寫下這篇文章，聖卡斯伯特在那裡生活和去世。哈羅德弟兄將牧羊人法獻給聖母和聖卡斯伯特，所以我認為他會同意這一點。我希望他也能批准我們的計劃，通過朝聖之路步行穿過沙灘前往聖島，籌集資金印刷他的回憶錄，並為教會的團結和牧羊人法的未來祈禱。
Brother Harold Palmer must be over 90, I told him, and he’s lived alone, praying on his hill for 50 years. My grandmother knew him, I said. She used to leave cakes for him in a box at the bottom of the road.
My grandmother, Molly, loved a holy man. She was a great friend of the Society of St Francis (SSF), the Anglican order to which Br Harold then belonged. In the 1960s she helped find a friary for them in Alnmouth, on the Northumbrian coast. Harold was one of the first to live there, but he never settled. He felt the persistent tug of his own particular vocation and by the time I was born it had pulled him right out of the friary, in and out of the good graces of various religious superiors, and into this isolated Northumbrian field.
We walked up Harold’s hill, my small family and I, in the bright sun and the strong wind, up to what’s been known for centuries as Shepherd’s Law. “There was no shelter here when Br Harold arrived,” I told my son. “Not even a shed! He made everything himself.” At the top we found the hermitage Harold built: cells, a bell tower and an astonishing chapel. You’d call it a skete in the orthodox tradition, just room for one or two contemplatives and the odd visitor.
But this skete was closed. We tried the door to the cells and the chapel door. All locked. My son pulled the bell rope and the wind ran over the long grass. It felt like the place in mourning. What had happened to Harold? The short answer, which I discovered over the next few weeks of emailing and poking about, was that Br Harold was still alive, though frail. He has since died, on the morning of 4 October – the feast of St Francis.
To the end, he went to his hill when he could. I met a group of his excellent friends, and through them I met the man himself and read his memoir on the website those friends made for him.
And I’m not quite sure whether it was the meeting, the memoir or the stillness on the hill, but I’ve also somehow found a complete conviction that Br Harold was the real deal – a witness to the reality of God – and that Shepherd’s Law is a sacred place. “I’m not a genius at prayer,” Harold once told The Oldie. “I’m just a very ordinary person who’s aware of the presence of God.” It’s hard to explain how exhilarating I find that.
It’s become fashionable once again to talk about England as a Christian country, but in a mournful, elegiac “death of the West” kind of way. Paul Kingsnorth wrote a recent essay called “And Did those Feet: In Search of the English Soul”, in which he discusses Peter Ackroyd’s book The English Soul and calls (without much hope) for a clutch of new spiritual warriors: 21st-century Blakes, Bedes and Bunyans. “You can turn back towards the light again, England,” he says. “There is a narrow path, and it leads you past the beeches to the lych-gate… The churches are still there, but the pews are empty now save for the ghosts. And where are you, England? Where are you?”
Well, England is in Shepherd’s Law and was Br Harold while he lived. It’s in people who never flinch from their calling. Br Harold didn’t waver even when his led him right out of the Anglicanism and into the Catholic Church. “After some months I began to feel strangely uncomfortable,” he writes. “Certainties and familiar landmarks of life became fluid and I felt as though I were in freefall, not sure where I was going to land. Then at one moment I saw as it were that I was in a box with ‘Society of St Francis’ written on the outside, but that I had fallen through the bottom of the box and ended up in the communion of the monastic Saints of Northumbria.” He prayed for the unity of the Church ever since.
I’m writing this on Holy Island, where St Cuthbert lived and died. Brother Harold dedicated Shepherd’s Law to Our Lady and to St Cuthbert, so I think he’d have approved of that. I hope he’d also have approved of our plan to walk across the sands to Holy Island via the Pilgrim’s Way to raise money to print his memoir and to pray for the unity of the Church and the future of Shepherd’s Law.
