A buddy from childhood took a similar role there, albeit six years ago. He, now 31 is grinded down and wanting out. This of course stems from ~16 hr. workdays for the last couple years. That works perfectly against your dating and health. He did receive options and built a mini fortune but still.. his plan is to leave soon, relocate to a small mountain town, buy a fixer upper and essentially defrag himself.
Edit/ Fun fact: paint was still wet on the Model X’s on stage at the press event. The parts to build them came in ten days before showtime. Groups of five or six were assigned one to build. He was one of them. He said he slept like 8 hours during the press build.
To clarify, I love the ambitious nature of Tesla, SpaceX etc. but I have done 100+ work weeks and it sucks. Controlling your schedule or at least your queue is what I’d consider one of the most important things in life.
- eganist 9y agoThe culture wasn't really any different at SpaceX from what I can tell. I can tag a few friends to elaborate further, as I'm only operating on hear-say.
