I've been at Amazon 7 months and have offers from Coinbase and Palantir. Coinbase is remote, and Palantir is in person (maybe an advantage for learning). Ignoring TC, which one is better from a growth and prestige/resume value standpoint? Edit: Coinbase is 185k and Palantir is around 220k tc #palantir #coinbase #swe
At Palantir you might learn how to dilute your stock to death
What do you mean “ignoring TC”?
Palantir is offering significantly more, 220k vs Coinbase 185k
Depends on the team.
TC or GT🦆O
Coinbase is offering 185k and Palantir is 220k
Palantir work is shit, no? the stock is shit too
No, the work is wayyy better than that at Apple
How did you get interviews for new grad role when you’re already working your first SWE job? Isn’t there a different pipeline once you’re out of college
Some places still consider you a new grad one year after graduation
Coinbase is risky and lot of crazy hours and hyper growth. It may be a career accelerator. Palantir is low risk and will get you good grounding on advanced tech for defense and government purposes. It will set you up for a stable long term career but do not expect to enter rest of the consumer / tech market without another pivot.
That last sentence doesn’t make sense. You realize most engineers who leave Palantir either move to a new startup or a tech company right? If someone can clear a Palantir interview they can likely clear at least 1-2 MANGA interviews without much effort
Care to share about the Palantir interview? I have my onsite next week.
I say neither. From what I have heard, Coinbase is a total disaster now and is laying people off and Palantir had its day, but it's far from the darling it once was. There are tons of SWE jobs out there for new grads -- keep looking and you'll find a good place to work.
huh ?? coinbase is on a mass hiring spree. not sure where you’re seeing layoffs
Maybe it was RobinHood that had the issues- I could be wrong.

Isn’t in person better for learning as a new grad?
Nope, no difference at all
