Got an internal offer from a team which does a lot of work on Palantir Foundry. Their work involves ingestion into foundry and then doing analyst kind of work. They will pay me 10kish more. My current role is databricks/spark/snowflake heavy. I get to do DE work which I'm learning and enjoying. Since the new role would be at a higher level and pay more, I'm considering it. I'm worried foundry is a very low code/no-code environment and then I'll get stuck with it. Career wise, I want to remain as technical as possible and maybe even move from DE to backend/platform types SDE roles. TC: 🥜 95k. Potential TC in new team: 105k YOE: 1
Agree with Meta^. Optimize for growth and not money, especially early in career like OP.
Not worth it unless you like the role more
Foundry’s core is Spark, look at the Palantir Developers YT channel
More money is more money. I don't get the hesitation? What if they say, adios, muchacho tomorrow? Just go for it and have $10k extra in your bank.
My main concern is since I'm this early in my career, I don't want to restrict myself by working in a less dev role. I have realized I like to code and build things rather than do analyst stuff and drag drop ETL
I would not get too attached to a work style. Go with the flow. Take more money. When you're offered even more in future for a DE role, go for that. You won't be lost since it's something you're passionate about already so will pick it up again quickly.
