Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, criticized elite universities like Harvard and Yale, asserting that degrees don't matter for employees at his company. He declared that joining Palantir is the best credential in tech, stating, "If you come to Palantir, your career is set." Karp emphasized that both prestigious and lesser-known educational backgrounds are irrelevant once employed by Palantir. He also mentioned that employers are increasingly valuing skills over degrees, reflecting a broader shift in the job market.
"This is by far the best credential in tech. If you come to Palantir, your career is set."
"If you did not go to school, or you went to a school that's not that great, or you went to Harvard or Princeton or Yale, once you come to Palantir, you're a Palantirian-no one cares about the other stuff."
"They're talking about skills."
"Palantir's hot streak is thanks to workers who want to 'bend the arc of history'...it's bringing together a workforce that isn't prideful of their fancy college degree."
