Stay as a software engineer. Pays you better and interesting work as well in the long run

Unfortunately not an option. Need a change from current team at Microsoft and looking to find out more about a Palantir offer

WTF is FDE?

I think it is “Forward Deployed Engineer”.

FDEs are glorified consultants

No they aren’t. Been an FDE for 5 years, coming from SWEng at large tech companies before. FDEs are hired by pretty much the same tech standards as SWEngs.
