14-year-old genius joins SpaceX! IQ over 180, annual salary of a million dollars

On June 17, 14-year-old Kairan Quazi will graduate from Santa Clara University, becoming the youngest person to do so in the school's 172-year history. At the same time, the talented young man joined Musk's space exploration company - SpaceX, he will join SpaceX's satellite Internet Starlink team as a software engineer, which is an important position in the core department.

According to statistics, SpaceX's entry success rate is horribly low, only 0.2%, which is even more difficult than entering Harvard University. However, the extremely high difficulty of entry has also brought rich returns, and the annual salary of SpaceX software engineers is as high as 140,000 to 216,000 US dollars, equivalent to about 1 million to 1.5 million yuan. After landing the job, Quazi proudly announced the news on her social media: "I accepted the Offer of a software engineer at one of the coolest companies on the planet!"

Quazi was born in 2009 in the San Francisco Bay Area to Bangladeshi American parents, and his father was a chemical engineer.

When Quazi was just a few months old, his mother noticed that he was different. He loved to listen to people talk, and when people stopped telling him stories, he would lose his temper. By the age of two, Quazi could speak in full sentences. After a doctor's evaluation, his family determined that Quazi was a genius with a high quotient of intelligence and emotional intelligence. By the time he was in third grade, his IQ was over 180, exceeding 99.9% of the human race.

Quazi has been a research collaborator at Intel's Human AI Lab since the age of 10 and is involved in the development of the open-source speech prediction generation platform, the next-generation Hawking ACAT system. At the age of 11, Quazi enrolled at Santa Clara University, majoring in computer science engineering. While in college, he was not only able to help his much older classmates with their homework, but also became a guest writer for MIT Technology Review. He has also appeared on Shift AI and delivered a keynote speech.

However, due to her young age, even Quazi, who has a lot of halo, has not had many difficulties in finding a job. Many companies rejected him because he was too young, but SpaceX was one of the few companies that didn't judge applicants' maturity and abilities based on age, and SpaceX's hiring manager believed he had the potential to become a top engineer, which encouraged him. Under Washington law, SpaceX can legally hire Quazi because he happens to be of minimum working age.

Outside of her profession, Quazi is clearly an energetic teenager. By his own account, he is trying to learn Bengali with his family, as well as Mandarin. Earlier reports said he had also studied Chinese kung fu.
