I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.
I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.
Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.
I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.
Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
Should I stay or should I go?

Engineering > Product / Data Science > Corp Strategy/Development or potentially Marketing or Business Development depending on the business > Sales > Operations (bizz/sales) > support roles (project manager)
Honestly no idea just made this up
Corp strategy I can’t say with certainty. They have a direct line to every P&L owner while engineering/ds is routed through 5 leads before they get to the VP of their BU (speaking primarily for FAANG). For any primarily consumer tech company (think Apple), marketing is a profit center and the heart of their growth strategy. If it’s a B2B SaaS then sure the Account Execs might have more “prestige” than marcom.

We have a lot of exits to and from FAANG along with other solid tech companies.
It's like being a pro athlete - once you get to the league you've cleared the bar. Some teams win more or pay more but overall you can generally move around if you have the need/desire to make a change.
There’s always prestige. The people who say there isn’t are the ones who have made it to the top or the ones who have lost and want to make themselves feel better about themselves.
Agreed. It’s a rule of thumb but not a law of physics so to speak.
