I never would of joined Palantir out of university. I was on an awful team, and it shaped my world to be negative for a long time. I was exploited and got less out of the experience then I would have elsewhere. If I could do it again, I would of tried to join Amazon, Apple, or Google. Feeling financially safe matters a lot, especially if you want to take a risk like starting a business. So my advice to myself would be: Fuck your ethics (in large part). Make money at a innovative tech company so you can learn and be financial safe.
