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.

The hardest part about being a CD is the "D" part of your title. Being a creative is no longer the important part of your job. Being a director is — urging your team on in promising directions, gently pulling them back from not-so-promising ones, and letting the glow of their successes shine directly on them, rather than being reflected off you. One of the best pieces of career I advice I ever got was, "Nobody good working for you can ever make you look bad."
Disagree. Creative is ALWAYS the important part of your job. Becoming a CD is about adding skillsets in managing people, in particular creatives, and the ability to articulate and present ideas to high level clients.
I always make a point of giving credit to the team both publicly and privately. A little praise goes a long way in motivating people and building and maintaining morale.
250 seems to be a common top.
Getting lamer and lamer could be meetings you aren’t prive too- with a cco, account lead etc. I’m sure it’s not everytime, but I’ve had it happen.
Not giving credit is just flat out wrong tho.
