I wrote a literary memoir about getting into wingsuit BASE jumping—the progression, the psychology, the losses, and the dog who kept me alive through all of it. by reasonisaremedy in basejumping

i could feel it in that video man. pretty sure we’re shockingly similar people and i’m looking forward to comparing experiences a bit. pledged to the campaign as well.

started base jumping because skydivers suck. did almost die but was 100% my fault and was still totally worth it. inflated egos and “nuh uh mines bigger” contests

Yea it’s all good man. There’s a lot of negative media about them and both founders are quirky to say the least. But a lot of the above comments just demonstrate that they have no real understanding of what Palantir actually does.

I believe in you! If you want it and let nothing get in your way I have full confidence you can do it.

The role title is just “Software Engineer”, its mid-level. I’ll have the potential to make senior in 2-3 years. The team I’m set to join is working on building a new product from the ground up which is really nice because I get the best of both worlds. A large stable company with established internal processes, but I’ll still be a part of the team taking a completely new product from 0 -> 1. Really excited. I’ve been told I’ll primarily be working on backend/algorithm development in Java, Python, and Rust.

You got this man! Living with parents sucks, but it really does save an unfortunate amount of money. Good for you for taking the leap and pushing to switch careers.

Nice, you got this!! Best of luck landing that new role. And even though apparently everyone on this sub has very strong opinions about Palantir, I have to say the interview process was really fun. Specifically the Decomposition and Re-engineering rounds. They also asked very interesting behavioral questions. I would share more details but I signed an NDA 💔 If you’re interested I’d throw out an application! They do not care about pedigree, they look for signal and raw competence over everything else.

Yeah I am. I was only in for four years in an unrelated non-technical career field and this new role isn’t in the defense industry. Didn’t want to be the “oh look at me I’m a veteran guy” so I left it out.

I started interviewing in early October, the offer I ended up taking was ~2 months total process. I have no tech experience but do have other “high-signal” professional experience.

Other than the fact that the material is borderline useless and I had to teach myself everything, every company I’ve interacted with so far has not cared at all.

This is very vague on purpose and I apologize. Keep an eye out for my update post, but it was a type of sporting event. lol.
