shared it yesterday, but if anyone is curious, this is what i had gotten back in 2022

#

It is competitive

#

but i wouldn't say beats faang

#

its prob a bit under

golden zinc
#

bro brought out the proof

peak snow
#

Isn’t that 190

golden zinc
#

for how much they pride themselves on being so "smart"

#

i would think they paid as much

peak snow
#

Over 4

willow vigil
golden zinc
#

still very high though

willow vigil
#

also the way they break it down is weird

golden zinc
#

its taxed like 50% in nyc
TF

willow vigil
#

*sorry also @peak snow

golden zinc
#

That is so high

willow vigil
#

it is like 190K

#

but also their rsu

#

i didnt value

#

as close to meta / google

#

At the time they were falling

#

so i had discounted it

#

Sorry is 190K

peak snow
#

Oh lol

#

They got the gov stimmy

willow vigil
#

My brain derped lol

#

i got my old numbers back then in my head when i was negotiating

#

and arguing i dont value it as much xD

#

(but they dont negotiate hhh)

peak snow
#

Was it for SWE

willow vigil
#

Yea their SWE in office

#

not a travel swe

peak snow
#

Ahh

golden zinc
#

and weird bonuis structure

willow vigil
peak snow
#

That’s what I heard too

willow vigil
#

and based off of performance was what i was told

#

Another reason why im like hm. idk how this will translate if i wanna jump back to faang

#

maybe easier to climb the ladder for a bit first

golden zinc
willow vigil
#

i feel any company is whatever they come up with for ur team

#

they got interesting problems / i think the most fun itnerview tho lol

#

its not just pure leetcode

quasi temple
#

Bro isn't the wlb at palantir so much worse than faang

#

And interviews much harder

#

I thought they d pay like 300k

willow vigil
#

its like leetcode, talk about ur project, optimize a small code snippet they show u, and like talk about practical issues / how would u go about building this

willow vigil
quasi temple
#

Why would someone choose palantir instead of faang?

willow vigil
#

i think palantir is more practical

#

so ppl who only leetcode gets their ass kicked

willow vigil
#

if it was between zon + palantir id choose palantir

#

only b/c i had google / meta i dropped them

quasi temple
#

Yeah ik I did palantir interviews last year, but I'd still say that they are overall harder than a faang interview

peak snow
#

Do they have good job security

quasi temple
#

They have an insane return offer rate afaik

willow vigil
#

i thought was easier

quasi temple
#

Like 95%

#

From intern to ng

# quasi temple Why would someone choose palantir instead of faang?

based off marketing, it seems palantir does more things that need you to be on your game and not waiting for someone to lead you. seems like cruising aint a thing there. seems like they do more challenging things there. this is all just based off what i see from marketing, could easily be false

#

Google / Meta interviews made me more stressed b/c it just so intense

willow vigil
#

id say the people i talked to there

#

are pretty smart tbh

golden zinc
# quasi temple Like 95%

when you are a company that makes internship round so hard, fosho most of the interns you take will end up being top quality

willow vigil
#

it was lots of fun to talk to the ppl there

golden zinc
#

another thing is, they are one of the companies that pays really well outside the US

quasi temple
#

Yeah

#

I applied to internship in london

golden zinc
#

so for talent outside the US, they got an advantage

quasi temple
#

They pay like 9k/month wth

golden zinc
#

most UK faang internships pay in lwhat range?

quasi temple
#

Between 3 and 4k

golden zinc
#

damn

quasi temple
#

Palantir is by far the company that pays the most over ALL

golden zinc
#

palantir defs scooping up the best overseas talent

quasi temple
#

Except maybe hft

willow vigil
#

Faang pays 8K to 10K a month for HCOL

#

for internship

#

Seattle i think is like 8K a month

#

NYC gets up there to 10K a month range

quasi temple
#

Yeah but it's london not usa

willow vigil
#

Ah

#

ok lol

#

all ik for tech is in europe ur screwed more xD

quasi temple
#

The only good thing is the security against layoffs, I think in europe there was almost no layoffs for swes

golden zinc
#

the cities in europe that these tech companies will typically have their offices in are expensive

#

google aint gonna put an office in the middle of west bubble fuck where there are only farmers in an 100 mile radius

quasi temple
golden zinc
#

london is

quasi temple
#

Like rent is probably 1.5k in london for a bedroom with 30 square meters in london

golden zinc
#

do you forget that the UK is in a housing crisis

quasi temple
#

And food is only like 300 or 400 per month

#

Yeah but food is cheaper

#

The rent is really high of course

golden zinc
#

they are in a housing crisis

#

it has gone up

golden zinc
#

maybe you are right on that

#

according to that, "The cost of living in New York is higher than London. It would cost approximately $9,500 to maintain the same lifestyle as about $7,200 would get you in London, according to data collection project Numbeo."

quasi temple
#

1500 pounds not usd

golden zinc
quasi temple
#

Yeah overall london is 25% cheaper than nyc

golden zinc
quasi temple
#

But salaries are 3x lower lol

golden zinc
#

recent

#

okay

golden zinc
#

with london not being cheap, general salary differences would mean you can get better in nyc

#

dont forget that just like nyc, london tax is crazy

quasi temple
#

How much is it nyc?

#

Cause london is like 40% i think lol

golden zinc
#

idk the specifi of it because it is bracketted for different income ranges

willow vigil
#

london definitely is higher

#

I talked to a friend at meta who worked at London during covid, then relocated to US once covid lifted

#

he told me about the london tax rate too lol

golden zinc
#

damn

btw for return intern i heard its 220k. is that not the case? are they just adding the sign in bonus lol

#

I assume this is for ng without return intern

willow vigil
#

i was ng yes

#

no negotiation allowdd

pastel thistle
#

gotcha

willow vigil
#

even with meta / google

#

but i wouldnt be surprised what u said

#

common if an intern does well

pastel thistle
#

right

willow vigil
#

maybe palantir has that policy to try to capture good talent / less ramp up

#

for those interns

willow vigil
#

makes sense to

#

bc 190K in my offer

#

with the sign i guess that is the case

pastel thistle
#

plus 30 is the 220k yeah

willow vigil
#

for a first year

#

i guess if u wanna skew ppl lol

pastel thistle
#

if i get offer ill try to find someone who interned there to ask
