Passed Google HC for SWE a long time ago and have talked to many teams now but am failing to find any that interest me enough to make the switch. Any suggestions on teams with interesting technical work and cool projects that make an impact? Also open to suggestions on how to navigate team match to get connected with better fits.
Post your rough interests?
Backend or full stack algorithmic/real-time problems working on consumer facing products. Open to different product areas, but less interested in ads and business facing stuff.
Youtube, google maps, google photos, google drive are probably the best consumer facing backend roles you will find in google.
Why is that
TC google? How many rsus in Uber?
What's the value of the RSU?
Why IBM guy cares about RSU’s? Lol Do you guys get any stocks?
App engine
This is not uncommon at all. Just find any team you can bear to join, then find an interesting project in your 20% time. If there were any interesting teams, they would likely be filled up long ago.
How does 20% time work? Do you assume you’re working 40 hours? Or 40 hours + 20% time? Asking in reality not in how it it is on paper.
I think it depends on team. My friend was doing 60 hrs and the 20% project was her passion and she spent nights and weekends on it. I am not sure if her work schedule was by choice tho - she is a workaholic for sure...

I'm in the same boat! PgM though. How long has it been for you?
Wow, someone on blind wanting to work on something fun instead of just focusing on getting a big TC.
This cannot be allowed. Get him!
In my opinion, these two things are related.
