Oh, similar story!  I used to live in Montgomery County, and I interviewed with Palantir precisely because it was a top-tier tech company that I wouldn&#x27;t have to move for (albeit the commute wouldn&#x27;t have been amazing).  I didn&#x27;t take interview preparation seriously though and flubbed the interview, so nothing came of it.  I did end up relocating to NYC to work a different top-tier tech company that has an engineering office here but not really one in DC.<p>I&#x27;ve basically taken every good job offer I&#x27;ve had in my life, and I haven&#x27;t regretted one jump.
