If you have the ability to intern at Palantir you have the ability to intern at any number of more responsible companies. Palantir has a bigger booth at the career fair, but I'd bet working at Apple or Uber is just as much of a resume boost at much less of a societal cost. (source: am a college student)
- whorleater 11y agoInterning at Apple or Uber has much more stiff competition though. The barrier to entry for Palantir is remarkably low considering their pay, it's not surprising that college students apply for Palantir. (Source: am college senior)

- argonaut 11y agoApple and Uber are not as much of a resume boost (in Silicon Valley, to a SV recruiter). Palantir is sort of on the level of quant finance / Dropbox 2 years ago. Apple and Uber are hiring like crazy and so it's quite a lot easier to get in there as an intern than at Palantir (which is more selective).
