If I exit my B4 manager position to go to a boutique consulting firm or smaller contractor for a year as a stopgap, do I lose whatever leverage I had to make a jump to a better career? In other words, do I need to make leaving the B4 really count the first time i get a new job?

You don't have to update your LinkedIn to show boutique firm if concerned about recruiter outreach

Underrated comment. You have no obligation to update anything. Push out the info you want out there

No. I turned down several “prestigious” firms leaving the B4 for a boutique and still get messaged about great opportunities. That said, I went to a great school and work in a niche area, both of which are in my favor. I have noticed somewhat of a decrease in quantity of random LinkedIn messages but not a decrease in overall quality.

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.
