Everyone's opinions on tradeoffs vary. Were it me, I wouldn't be proud if I'd made the call to join the company that is directly supporting The US's broken ICE system (https://www.google.com/amp/s/slate.com/technology/2019/05/do...), even if I were $200M richer. It seems Garry dodged a bullet on this one.
He says he ended up working for Palantir anyway, so he dodged the bullet then chased it down to dive back in front of it again.
In the case of this metaphor, he ran back to Palantir for his opportunity to shoot the gun, for a tiny share of the profits.
