I imagine they poached a lot of Spacex engineers by simply telling them “we won’t make you work ungodly hours, nor will we subject you to a narcissistic manchild with no engineering education dropping in on your meetings and trying to tell you how to do your job”
As much as it’s true, not all company are doing this.
There are plenty of good East Asian company with good work life balance, especially newer company that already recognize the issue.

I bet they poached 0-3 engineers.
You left out the “but you have to learn Japanese and move to Japan” part of the job pitch. That makes it a harder sell for most people.
You do realize it’s Japan right? China, Japan, Korea all have work life balance issues.i wouldn’t want to work 996 or 007 lol
We would like to contact you for job offer in the same role as your current.
We cant pay you as much per hour but we can give you more hours to match it.

Probably still a less insane megalomaniac for a boss at least though.
It’s called “being hardcore”
In Japan?
“… it’ll be the same, but it’s a huge honor to work on this project in our company.”
And we reward you for this huge honour with the worst working conditions you can imagine. You’ll live at your desk.
Tbf doesn’t he have a computer science degree? Which is a type of engineering degree?
Computer science is more of a math degree than anything else
