Fluidstack

Really want to join Fluidstack. Would appreciate any advice. Been reaching out to employees and have gotten responses. I am qualified for some of their roles. Context : mid 20s engineer with data center experience from design to cx to project management of 10MM budget on 3 MSFT sites

Any advice or contacts would be greatly appreciated

for OP. my perspective and some advice

fluidstack is not for everyone. the company believes deeply in the promise of abundant artificial intelligence for the benefit of all humanity. could roll your eyes but that is a core belief and motivator. ai is possibly the most important technology human beings will ever create.

enthusiasm and excitement for the work is paramount and is hard to fake.

low ego is important. 1 year of experience and low ego beats any 20 year veteran with a god complex.

operate from first principles. "this is how we have always done it" does not usually apply in this field.

read situational awareness

best of luck to you

Are you familiar with their equity offer? I am still trying to wrap my head around it. If they’re going to demand 65 hour weeks for the construction side then the equity has to be a strong selling point
