If you can survive here, you can survive anywhere. Made me a millionaire through stock appreciation over the years.
Absolute mayhem, at least in the Starship org. Ridiculous deadlines and designs seem half-assed to meet them. Expect to take on 2-3 people’s workload. Your sanity will be tested, but you will be rewarded if you can last 4-5 years and vest.
I am having trouble deciding to jump ship to SpaceX. They offered 220k TC and in my current job I am at 230k TC. I want to work on something meaningful but I am also worried about the financial risk.

From a financial standpoint, the amount of debt he had to take on to fund the acquisition is pretty massive, and I can’t imagine him being able to make sweeping operational changes in short order to boost revenue.
