I've been deeply interested in this field for a long time and BCIs specifically. (not to brag, just to explain:) I have a graduate degree in a related neuro field and strong & fast coding abilities.
Working @ Neuralink interests me a lot.
But I've also read the stories about Musk, how he treats employees, the working conditions, etc. [0]
I'm not afraid of hard work but can folks here shed light whether it might be worth it (or not) to go work there?
Are Tesla, SpaceX, etc. engineers generally... happy/satisfied?

- kiba 6y agoYou're assuming that Elon Musk personally run each company he found as if it's his full time job. There's only one Musk.
- nickik 6y agoSpecifically Neurolink is likely only about 5% of the time. Its about half each for Tesla and SpaceX according to him, more or less depending on what happening.
- holler 6y ago> Are Tesla, SpaceX, etc. engineers generally... happy/satisfied? I don't work at either but I have watched plenty of SpaceX product, err, rocket launches, and they seem to frequently live-stream from their Hawthorn CA headquarters with lots of gleeful & cheering employees. My impression is that at least for SpaceX, it's probably both highly demanding and highly rewarding. In another life I'd love to work at a company like that!
- deegles 6y agoThere are plenty of jobs with poor working conditions where you don't get to build rockets, cars or BCIs. Not that it makes it ok, but it appears plenty of people are consciously making that tradeoff.
