You don't mention anything about what drives you or what you'd like to be doing. So I will just pose a few questions:

Is "interesting" worth a six figure opportunity cost per year by foregoing PE or hedge funds? Why do you think it is interesting? Are there other missions that may excite you more? Doesn't it seem a little quick to start evaluating solely based on this external actor (recruiter) contacting you? Maybe Google or Pinterest or Reddit or Watsi would also be interesting?

Are you happy with your lifestyle right now?

How does this tie to your larger aspirations? If 3 years of banking gets you a ticket to an MBA, or the right amount of capital for you to start a business, maybe it is worth staying.

More specific to Palantir: Do you have any ethical issues with Palantir's work? The company seems like it is doing a fair bit of soul searching about how its tools are used, and what its responsibility to the public is. I am not trying to answer this question nor prompt that discussion, but this may be an aspect of the work you should evaluate.

If you look around, you'll find Palantir has a hard salary cap, so your mention of compensation is likely to be a relatively underwhelming value compared to tech M&A work. Palantir isn't competing there.

Hope that helps.
