Getting rejected from Palantir in late August was probably the best thing that could've happened to me. It was the first company that I interviewed at for a full time roll and it made me realize I wasn't ready. I spent the next 8 weeks coding for three hours a day and preparing for interviews. Ended up landing a great job that I'd take over Palantir any day.

what were you doing the rest of the working day?

I'm still in college. I'd wake up at 6, eat and do some coding problems, go to class, come home, do homework, do phone interviews, code till midnight, and go to sleep.
