FYI I turned down Palantir's offer for another offer with a lot more $$. I now know I would have made A LOT more money at Palantir instead.

Please don't use clickbait. 450k were opportunity costs and you're making a real stretch to call them a "loss". Stretching the truth might look good on your resume but you are just losing your integrity and my interest of watching your videos.

I did not put $ in the lottery so I missed out on $100 million. Total click bait

not exactly losing money on the ipo. Most that clicked would assume you bought stock and lost.

Technically you didn’t lose $450,00.00 because you never had it ($40,000 company stock)

This is starting to become one of my favorite channels. Love both the salesforce and non-salesforce context

I'm no CIA secret agent but I can smell a fish a mile away....

David - you're becoming my favourite guy! Found you on LinkedIn and am enjoying your videos! Keep them coming!

Thank you for sharing! That is life slapping you in the face. Dust it off, learn from it and move forward.😊

I nearly bought a pair of blue socks once. Instead I bought a pair of green socks. 8 years on I still wonder what would have happened if i bought thoses blue socks. This video is click bait 👎

Very great to get your little piece of insight into this company. Investors find it hard to evaluate PLTR. You sound like a person who could give further interesting insights into what PLTR is. There is a demand for this.

For all the haters talking about clickbait, I for one enjoyed this video and this man giving me insight into the company. I appreciate the casual way he talked about it and the details that he provided that I probably wouldn't have found out anywhere else.

Dear KZfaq gods - I have sinned and abused the clickbait. Please forgive me I have changed the title and thumbnail!

And I lost 200 grand for not buying 100 shares of tesla back in march.

What job offer did you take instead of Palantir? Why did you turn down the Palantir offer?

Hey David! I'm not sure if you remember but I had commented a week or two ago on your "Problem with Trailhead" video. I had mentioned that I had left a boring Salesforce Dev job, and now after a Master's got an offer from Salesforce. You wont believe this, but I've landed an Interview with Palantir for their new grad role. I strongly feel that I'm not good enough for their role, and my college grad coursework has made it pretty difficult to prepare for their interview. Anyways your video is pretty timely :)

Although people complain about clickbait this is the exact information needed. The company is real. There is still time to recoup some of your losses. One of the main reasons for the IPO is so employees can get rich.

David. I am sorry for your loss. I wish I have known your channel earlier so I can at least share my 2 cents. I knew about Palantir a long time ago and I have always wondered if they have a product or just a consulting service. They have been very good at cloaking themselves and finally I concluded that they are a consulting service company. That type of business makes money for the insiders but can’t yield much for passive investors.

You crack me up lol. You should have no regrets, you are doing great.

I feel you brother I was watching/waiting as well

Hey David, I remember you, and your getting that offer was definitely not a fluke. I was bummed that you didn’t accept the offer as you did impressively in the interviews. I was super excited to learn that you’d passed the gauntlet and that we’d made you an offer. I’m not trying to make you feel bad that you turned it down, but to say that you’re definitely good enough, and that’s why my team made you an offer!

Just for curiosity does Palantir software can handle , analyses and translate info from Chinese to English?

A lot of us have had these experiences. Sometimes with sums a lot higher than $450,000. Comes with the territory when you work in tech.

Don't worry about losing 450k. You will make it up with KZfaq. LOL!

Hello David, Indeed, you are doing a great job. I love your site and your videos. As an entrepreneur, I just would like to share my point of view with you. 1) You worked hard, investigated, took risks, and made the best decision at the time based on what you knew. Otherwise, since you think deeply, you would have taken another. It is easy and frustrating to remake the past with the knowledge of the future. Who knows what would have happened? better? worse? 2) You haven't lost any money. You just missed winning some, which is significantly different. (Forgive my childish English, because I am French) All the best for you,

There’s nothing stopping you from going back and reapplying if that’s truly the path you want to take. You’ve already got a leg up on the competition and you know the process. Palantir is a great company and their product is top-notch. I’ve seen it in action and it’s extremely impressive.

Money is always a problem, whether we have it or not. I have been relaxing for the last two years here in Kerala, India. Watching squirrels and wild cats... drinking tea and coffee during the rain ..just too amazing ... next year, I’ll have to get back to “work”... I’ll be sipping on my Johny walker black ..cheers in advance

Did YOU sell? I would have just HDL.

I don’t take any pleasure, just respect for you and learn from your mistakes. I lost 5K which is a lot to me with Thomas Cook in 2019. I had insider information that turned out to be not as accurate as I thought. I was unexperienced and I learned not to trade just based on what others say. I hate people who hide their mistakes and just show their wins. We all make mistakes, not everyone learns from them. My respects

At least you got the job offer! Good to know that you can play in those leagues. Out of curiosity, why didn't you take the job?

My goodness! I think this is profound vulnerability and openness for what seems to be an effort to encourage us, your followers, to learn from your experiences as we have our own decisions to make. Seems to me like you're making the world a better place, one way or another. Thank you sincerely.

Great Episode on Palantir and sharing your loss of $450,000.

sorry to hear that. sounds like you overleveraged yourself. It's okay I did the same, but on a much smaller scale. The big lesson is to scale into positions over a few days at a minimum. Here they are now bouncing back, which shows how a smaller position could protect capital while in a short-term downturn. Another option would be to scale into positions using put options so that you get paid to buy the stocks you want. PLTR doesn't have options yet so that wouldn't work. Also suggests we should be wary of brand new companies until they prove themselves.

Cool story man... hope all is well

Technically it’s not a loss, since you personally did not purchase any underlying stock, and you did not have anything subtracted from your current portfolio/bank account. I would rather say this was a missed opportunity to potentially add on to what you currently have, but I definitely would not consider this as a loss. You did not lose $450,000 and you did not make $450,000. Just like how we all wish we had bought Amazon back in the day, this is the same situation. I personally don’t think you should bum yourself out about this one, going back 8 years it was impossible to know if palantir would still even be here. So if you did accept that job offer it would have been somewhat of a gamble, of course we know what the answer is now, but at the time it was a gamble for you. Just like how Amazon was a gamble before it blew up.

thanks to let me have PLTR with 14$ on that day. love you man.

I still don't understand. You said you loved that company so much. You even reached to last round. But you also said you didn't accept the offer. So did you declined the offer or didn't clear last round?

Palantir headquarters is in Denver

Wait why did you decline the job offer? Are you saying you declined that job offer because you thought it was a fluke it was offered to you????

Powerful statement! Follow your dreams people!!

Don’t worry, all will be well. Just keep hope alive

JAJAJA> Love it man! Hillarious, you can afford better whiskey! Please, bro, Money won't be an issue for you! G-D Bless brother, be safe.

David, do you think the company has high growth potential after the ipo?

Excellent video thanks. QUESTION:- I am intrigued, why, how come you didn't accept the job offer for Palantir? Did you accept another different job offer from another company? I would love to hear more about this story of yours? thanks, writing from Wales, UK. I just purchased three blocks of Palantir stocks last week. Many thanks, @David K. Liu

I noticed how the media ragged on Palantir the closer the IPO got. I lost on it too.

Dude, you think that hurts? I worked at Amazon back in 2001 when they were only selling books and CDs in their warehouse and their stock price was below $20. Plus I could have gotten an employee discount on those shares!! Painful!!

Whoa, I lost $400 on PLTR, though I like the business model a lot. Total $12K down in my portfolio today. Mostly TSLA. Take care.

What the heck is the criticism about in these comments? No, he did NOT directly lose the money, but if you listen to the story surely you can see how he DID. Super literal people: "Yeah, but."

I’ve been wanting to buy pltr but shit doesn’t have the same hype as snow so idk I been swinging snow jus fine but pltr I wanna buy I missed out when it fell below $9

Anyone else notice continuity errors with the glass? Must have edited clip after finishing the bottle ;-) I fully understand. David, just let us all know if you require an intervention.

It's fine. You can still go to palantir and make new beginning and now with more salary and more perks that they can offer.

I lost 1million on palintir people need to stop lying

Daaaaam... No Pleasure... I'm sure you'll get it back... That's just sick... I lost 5$ on palantir 😁... I'll get it back 😉

We are glad you did not , the Salesforce community would have missed a gem like you! I feel your 450K loss though :) and that clickbait ..

Dang... I bought on IPO too. Sorry for your loss...

I'm so confused? You got the job and quit? or what?

I don’t take pleasure in your Loss but I respect your transparency!

You missed out on $450. click bait

You joined another really great company AND you can still buy Palantir shares ;P

You didn’t accept the job offer so you didn’t lose anything. Wasted time watching thinking there would be some pertinent info about the company.

Welp that's an unfollow. Lame clickbait again.

They are stocks,we don't really know when it will go up and down,even most MBA graduates don't follow them properly.So,don't worry.

Garbage in and Garbage out, agreed and AI really sucks at recycling. Palantir reminds me lot of Former Admiral Pondexer's TIA program but managed by a private software company. Also it would really be cool if they devolped predictive intergraded budgeting and contract transparency software as well for the US and Local Governments. As such this being a nich but reliable, hard to replacate and even more difficult to replace product however I imagine smaller companies or foreign both public and private won't show much interest unless the USA Government "nicely asks" Palantir software for by states, local and possibly even foreign governments.

Would you invest in their stock now?

You done f*cked up sonnn. Ty for your story

Buy PLTR options and make more than $450K. I hope you know how to buy options.

Trailhead is owned by sales force correct? I’m assuming you’re doing very well 😂 great video though!

You don't lose if you don't sell. Dollar cost averaging is way to go. Wait 5 more years.🎯

This ipo was a wash surprisingly but I did manage to make some money when I decided to sell at $11.11....but I bought right back in at 9ish/share because I know this company will easily be worth at least $75 by next year

Nobody invests in IPO it’s well known , you wait for the stock to Tank then you buy some . Then you wait until the lockout period stops and angel investors sell , then you buy more

now the $450,000 you lost is probably 3x

Where did you end up going to work instead?

such a great video, thanks for sharing David :D

Powerful video

Clickbait man. U don't own their stock!!!

That’s why I track what ark does on lucidtracking.com to make sure I’m picking out stocks that are disruptive and well researched. Was looking at palantir but noticed ark didn’t touch it.

I thought I was lucky getting in at $10 & I just watched... had to bailout on day 2

Never trade the short term for the long term :)

It's a public company now .. special snacks and special oysters are going to be scrutinized now if they do not start making money.

Great stuff. I watch several youtube videos on how to trade in the stock market but haven't made any headstart because they are either talking some gibberish or sharing their story of how they made it and I do not want to make mistakes by taking risks in my own hands.

I lost 200k on INO in July drop from 34 to 23, worst loss of my life

Why not buy the stock?

PLTR is still 'cheap' by tech growth standards. If you have the cash, buy 3,000 now and hold until 2023. They'll be worth at least 5-10 x by then.

Cool story. 👍

Awesome

In few days, you will be able to buy it for a dollar. The company has been in business for 17 years and has yet to turn profit. The Street does not like that.

so 24 days later and your like bar is going from yoda style to darth vader style you still havent changed the title...

This company is Big Brother it's a no for me! Bribing employees to stay happy with oyster is like the scene in the Matrix where they offer you a steak to stay "Plugged In" nope nope nope I have kids that have to live in this word. Mr Snowden warned us of power like this. You're young you'll get it when you're older but by then it will be too late.

That was a bit sad... I will share some of that whiskey with you... went Covid hit, I sold off most of stock so that I would be in cash.. if you think of most of the great tech stocks, I owned them and bought them at a pretty good price. Only a Pandemic would have made me sell. I sold them before I lost money, but I lost a ton of future gains. I need a shot.

patience my son

bro i am debt of usd 4200 plz help me out . i am from india

DAVID BIG FAN OF URS JUST HELP WHAT SHUD B A ROADMAP FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO BE SOLUTION ARCHITECT FROM SCRATCH ALSO PLS HELP BEST WAY TO LEARN APEX

I believe if you have taken the Palantir's offer you would not get the opportunity to teach thousands of students SF and change their lives which can cascade to many generations. So every thing happen for good reason. Thanks for sharing your story.

You just made that money back. Everything happens for a reason. Look at PLTR now.

Don't worry, you are happy and successful now with good health. You might have lost your health atleast, if you were there with that employer who expected more time out of you. 😉

Just add more shares

I think everyone knows that PLTR did not use IPO!

David will be fired by google soon.

Did your parents disowned you for turning down a 120K annual salary at your dream job?

As of Feb 6, they're now worth just shy of $1.8mil. 😭
