Been reading some posts here that some people go to G for sake of the brand. Wondering if any Blinders used G just to get in the game and how many months after joining G did you start looking for a switch for better opportunity in terms of work and TC? What was the result? TC: 250K
That argument is also very familiar to Microsoft mgrs in the 2000s. G is the new MS, wow!

So hard being a women in tech industry
I was at Google for four years. I currently work somewhere with a lot of xooglers and the resounding consensus was that Google is a great brand (perks etc) but career progression was stifled, promotion took forever and was really political. I am friends with managers there and on multiple perf cycles, they have been told to downgrade perf ratings completely arbitrarily because "you can't give too many people on your team good ratings"
Damn! Thank you for sharing.
“You can’t give too many people on your team good ratings” is true for large reporting lines (say >25 people), but shouldn’t be true for small groups.
