Join Google or Stay at Current Company?

Context: I’ve signed the Google offer. I chose Google for 2 reasons - for the salary increase and because it’s Google. However, my current company recently increased my salary by a significant amount. I also currently live in LCL but will need to move to HCL area for Google. Is it reasonable/advisable to reject Google at this point? If I join Google, it’ll only be because it’s Google. Some facts: - I love my current job - I have absolutely no reason to leave it, other than the Google offer - I don’t mind Google rto I just need some advice to know whether Google still makes sense at this point. Is it bad to burn the Google bridge? Can I defer my Google offer to a later date? Current job new TC: $180k (LCL) Google offered TC: $245k (HCL)

Thanks for your input! Hopefully I won’t have any regrets 🥲 I love my current company so Google would have some big shoes to fill

Stay where you are..if you enjoy the work and city. Considering salary adjustment....it seems similar in salary ..

I could probably save more money if I stay, tbh. But what worries me is being blacklisted by Google if in the future I decide I wanted to work there…
