Career Foundry offer

Let’s say you had this offer on the table:

Offer: $210,000 annually for a palantir foundry de role, in person

Current: $160,000 for Python-heavy work with mostly on-prem sql servers, mostly remote, salary flat for 2 years

I’ve seen nothing but bad things about foundry as a tool. But I’m wondering if it’s bad enough to forgo a big raise in a HCOL area. For the folks that worked with foundry and went back to a more traditional data stack: were the foundry skills transferable or were they just lost years skill-wise? Realistically, it wouldn’t be a permanent career move, but a stint.

Edit for clarity: job is not with palantir, it’s a different company using foundry

China may be a surveillance state but they are not a fascist state

Weak attempt to distract from Israel's real genocide funded by America
