年薪百万！14岁天才男孩刚大学毕业，就入职SpaceX核心部门，还自学中文和中国功夫！（附视频&摘要稿）
据财联社，6月17日，年仅14岁的Kairan Quazi将从美国圣克拉拉大学毕业，成为该校172年历史上最年轻的毕业生。他上小学三年级时，他的智商已经超过180，超过了99.9%的人类。
这名天才少年最近还因为另一件事引发大量关注，那就是即将入职太空探索公司——SpaceX。其将以软件工程师的身份加入SpaceX的卫星互联网Starlink团队，可谓是核心部门里的重要岗位。
据统计，SpaceX的入职成功率只有0.2%，比进哈佛还难。而其软件工程师的年薪则高达14-21.6万美元，折合人民币约100-150万。
这也让Quazi在社交平台上骄傲发文：“我接受了这个星球上最酷公司之一的软件工程师Offer!”
按照华盛顿地区的法律，SpaceX可以合法雇佣Quazi，因为他恰好踩中了最低法定工作年龄。
而在专业之外，Quazi显然也是个精力旺盛的少年。据他透露，他正在努力和家人学习孟加拉语，同时还有普通话。2019年时还有中文媒体报道过这个天才少年，据说当时他正在自学中文和中国功夫…

Kairan Quazi skipped elementary school and was the youngest artificial intelligence fellow at a Fortune 100 company global research organization.
At 14 years old, he is set to graduate this week from Santa Clara University's School of Engineering.
Soon he'll be the newest team member of SpaceX.
"Next stop...SpaceX!!!," Quazi posted on Instagram alongside an excerpt of an email from the spacecraft manufacturer company offering him the job. "I accepted a position as Software Engineer at one of the coolest companies on the planet! Thank you everyone for continuing to follow my crazy journey!"
While some may be shocked at his many accomplishments as a teenager, Kairan does not let a number impact his success.
"I can't believe so many people would want me to be graduating middle school right now," Kairan told USA TODAY Tuesday. "It feels cruel to infantilize my intellectual and emotional needs and demand that I be trapped in a linear environment where the only metric is age."
The Bay Area teen prodigy, who received his high school diploma from the state of California at age 10, said he accepted the offer letter in late April and will begin work for Starlink − the satellite internet team at SpaceX − next month.
"They (SpaceX) have been really accommodating of my schedule," Kairan said. "I was elated and surprised by how quickly they made the decision. The SpaceX opportunity resonates with my deep desire to be part of something bigger."
SpaceX could not immediately be reached by USA TODAY Tuesday, but the teen said he went through 10 rounds of interviews with the Elon Musk-led company before being hired.
Now he plans to move with his mother to Redmond, Washington, for the job.
Kairan, who lives in Pleasanton, California, said he applied for 98 jobs. Three offered him one.
He picked SpaceX to work for because the company did not use his age as a proxy for maturity.
"The rejections would come literally within hours of the recruiters seeing me on the Zoom interviews so I never even got to meet the hiring managers at these 95 companies. All three offers were from companies where the leadership values matched the talent acquisition process. Nobody winced at my age."
Kairan said he chose SpaceX because he's "excited by the challenge of applying multidisciplinary skills toward expanding communication capabilities across the globe."
"They draw people who are similarly driven by radical innovation and collaborative impact. SpaceX has something like a 0.2% acceptance rate for applicants. So the fact that their hiring managers believe I have the potential to be among the top engineers in the country is humbling."
Under Washington state labor laws, SpaceX does not need special permission to hire the teen because he meets the minimum legal age to work.
Kairan's mother, Jullia Quazi, said she and her husband are beyond proud.
"We are elated that he ended up with SpaceX," she told USA TODAY. "We know their hiring bar is set really high. Once again, he proved us wrong."
When asked about skipping most of primary school, the teen joshed about its simplicity.
"My soul was slowly dying in elementary school," the teen quipped. "I finished third grade though, barely."
Here's how his educational path went instead:
◾ 2018: Started college at age 9.
◾ 2019: Got high school equivalency diploma from the state of California at age 10. (Also started a co-op internship at Intel Labs where he was the first undergrad and youngest ever AI Fellow at Intel Labs.)
◾ 2020: Received Associate of Science degree in Mathematics at age 11.
◾ 2022: Interned at a cyber intelligence startup.
◾ 2023: Slated to graduate Saturday from college.
Kiaran's hobbies include gaming, reading and traveling (he said he's been as far away from home as Malaysia).
In his online bio, the teen describes his personality as "fun, fearless, and driven by an intense intellectual curiosity."
"I haven't met Elon yet but I think his hiring philosophy is infused in the entire talent acquisition process," the teen told USA TODAY when asked if he had spoken to SpaceX's CEO.
Kairan will graduate from college on Saturday with a degree in Computer Science and Engineering.
作为当前全球知名的独角兽企业，马斯克旗下的SpaceX有着极强的探索精神和超高的入职难度。不过近日有报道称，一名年仅14岁的天才少年，在经过了10轮面试后，成功入职该企业，以软件工程师的身份加入SpaceX的卫星互联网Starlink团队。
这位名叫Kairan Quazi的少年即将从美国圣克拉拉大学毕业，而他的下一个去处便是SpaceX。有数据统计，SpaceX的入职成功率低得可怕，只有0.2%，这一比例甚至比进哈佛大学还难。但是极高的入职难度也带来了丰厚的回报，SpaceX的软件工程师年薪高达14万-21.6万美元，折合人民币约100万-150万。在获得这一工作后，Quazi也骄傲地在自己的社交媒体上公布了这一消息。
Quazi在社交媒体发文
据媒体报道，Quazi于2009年生于美国旧金山湾区，父母都是孟加拉裔美国人，他的爸爸还曾经是一名化学工程师。小的时候其父母就发现了他异于常人之处，也让他的家人确定Quazi就是一个双商（智商和情商）极高的天才。到他上小学三年级时，他的智商已经超过180，超过了99.9%的人类。
11岁时，Quazi顺利入学圣克拉拉大学，学习计算机科学工程专业。在大学期间，它不仅能够帮助那些比他大得多的同学辅导功课，同时还成为了麻省理工科技评论的客座作家。他还曾登上Shift AI并发表主题演讲，并且还成为了英特尔人类AI实验室的一名研究合作者。
不过由于年龄太小，即使有着众多光环加身的Quazi在找工作时也不少碰壁。不少公司都觉得他太小了因此不予录用，不过SpaceX是少数不用年龄作为判断申请者成熟度和能力的公司之一，而SpaceX的招聘经理相信他有潜力成为顶尖工程师，这也让他备受鼓舞。而按照华盛顿地区的法律，SpaceX可以合法雇佣Quazi，因为他恰好满足了最低法定工作年龄。
除了日常工作学习外，他的课外生活也非常丰富。其透露自己正在努力和家人学习孟加拉语，同时还有普通话。而此前有报道称，他还曾学习过中国功夫。
