Last Sunday's New York Times has an article that contains a detailed analysis of the soul-searching that Palantir is undergoing as it expands. The article has interviews with the founder of Palantir and its recruiter. It also has photos of the office.

The article mentions a cap of $450,000 a year in compensation ($137,000 salary + bonus $15,000 + $300,000 stock).
My 2 cents worth of advice would be to take the job and see how it works out for a year. After that, you are free to decide to go or stay, but with much better information at hand to make your decision.
- regs 12y agoFor the record, I'm not a recruiter (and was sad to see myself labeled as such). I've worked on the recruiting problem pretty extensively for Palantir, but I'm actually a software engineer. These days, my work tends towards writing about our technology and occasionally speaking in public but I'd hate to go down in history as a recruiter. (Not that there's anything wrong with recruiters).
- e15ctr0n 12y agoOh there's plenty wrong with recruiters. :-) If you feel that your work has been wrongly portrayed, you can contact the New York Times, who will ensure that the article is corrected and updated accordingly. http://www.nytimes.com/pages/corrections/ http://www.nytimes.com/pages/corrections/
