SpaceX recently hired a 14-year-old software engineer, Kairan Quazi, who passed the company's "technically challenging" and "fun" interview process. The teenager became the youngest person to ever be hired by SpaceX. He, however, took to social media to inform that popular job search website LinkedIn has deleted his account over the minimum age criteria and questioned how he could be qualified to land "one of the most coveted engineering jobs in the world and not have access to the networking platform".
He took to Instagram to share his disappointment over the same. "@linkedin just sent me this notice that they are deleting my account because I'm not 16. This is the illogical, primitive nonsense that I face constantly. I can be qualified enough to land one of the most coveted engineering jobs in the world but not qualified enough to have access to a professional social media platform? @LinkedIn showing everyone how regressive some tech company policies are. Can people please share this screenshot on their LinkedIn for me and ask people to connect with me on Instagram?" he said in the caption along with a screenshot.
