I have recently received two offers from two different companies. Same pay and remote.
Company A (Fortune 500)
Role - Palantir Application Developer
In this role, I have to collaborate with senior leaders of the company and develop Palantir applications to solve their problems …and it will be more of a Data Engineer sort of work. However, I am scared as there are not enough palantir-related jobs in the market. The software is costly and is thus not adopted by a lot of organizations. However, the manager is saying that I will get huge exposure to the business as I will be interacting with the senior leadership to understand the business problems.
Company B (A health system)
Role - BI Analyst
In this role, I will lead the data science collaboration of the health system and there are opportunities to grow into the data science team as well. The company doesn’t have a proper data science team thus there is a lot of room I suppose. They use Dataiku platform to apply machine learning.
Please ask on Blind - you’ll converse with people in the said companies and if you include TC they’ll give you some insights into whether it’s a good deal or not
Yes, particularly considering that 90% of the participants in this thread lack the reading comprehension necessary to distinguish between Palantir and Palantir Applications.
What a strange level of support for Palantir there is in this data science subreddit topic. I suppose you should pursue your dream of working only with specialized tools for law enforcement and defense contractors. I worked with Palantir in Afghanistan, and I would much sooner return to exporting Tableau charts to Excel than risk my career with this piece of shit that is Peter Thiel.
Putting bootlicking aside, I would much rather be the leader of a team with room to grow in this area than the app boy for “exposure” in higher management. That is merely creating Excel dashboards using additional processes.
