Many commented on “is it negative impact”, I want to write a short reply on “maximizing positive impact” (assuming you care about this; if you don’t then ignore this) :
TL;DR: What’s your main reason to think that working there will lead you to a high impact career?
Is it that you’ll learn a lot there?
If it’s the direct impact (from the battery and energy services), then my prior is that you’ll have a much higher impact working on an EA vetted org (vaguely defined. But basically an org that was found by you or others to probably be one of the highest impact ones in the world).
Or maybe it’s something else, like “you have friends there” or “it’s the building right near you”
