Got into HSW and currently at Palantir... How to maximize wealth?

My priority is to maximize my earnings and I'm trying to decide if that's best staying at Palantir and exiting to a high-growth startup or heading to HBS, GSB, or Wharton then trying to pivot into VC or PE operations. Or maybe there's another route that I'm missing (other than IB, which I'm not interested in).
