Anyone hiring helpdesk positions around SLC?
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.

Bunch of recruiters either based out of UK or India might be doing this. As soon as I reply or send my availability with resume they disappear. So I learned to respond without resume but with summary and don’t even provide phone number. When they reply back and ask for my resume or phone number to schedule a call then I share based on how I feel. Also watch out if it’s a senior level role, based on how you reply sometimes these recruiters don’t reply (most of the recruiters are from UK). Third one is my favorite where it’s a start up company and they will pay $200 an hour and when you reply they send you 22 questions to answer, at that point you know it is fake and they are just looking for answers for free.
What works best for me, before I provide my resume I provide 3-4 line summary when I reply and I ask for hourly rate or base annual compensation and if they reply great and if not I do not chase.
A lot of the TCS hourly roles (6-12 months) are given to the recruiters with very low rate (30-40% lower than standard) and a lot of these recruiters are struggling to fill in these roles because they don’t pay well and they are collecting resume.
If you feel the email or LinkedIn message is scam based on how it was written or where the person from or how long he or she stayed with current company you should be able to make a judgement call
Hope this helps

I don’t provide personal details until we’re further along. I can give a summary of work experience but not my whole resume until I have more verification it’s legit.
