I haven't talked to any such recruiters or entertained the thought because:
- I'm uncomfortable working for a company that has this much power over private citizens but is not even nominally accountable to said citizens.
- I'm uncomfortable with the (sadly popular) tactic of shoving ugly and disdainful things onto private contractors as a way of distancing and plausible deniability. In both the government and private contexts.
- The job market for programmers is good enough that I have the freedom to be hoity toity with my morality.
I realize full well that given how much Palantir pays, they will fill the seats they need to fill to do the work they do. The world may be on an unavoidable course to hell, but I don't need to jump out and push.
