I cleared HC and got a decent protential team match (haven't accepted team yet) in kirkland. After talking to couple of managers, it looks like scope of E5 is driving project in a small 3-4 subgroup within a team and act as a SME for that micro-service/component. That's like SDE2 role in Amazon in my mind (no offence to anyone). Is this correct understanding of the E5 role?

I've couple of offers at Staff level in mid size company (~3000 engineering size) and wondering if i should take them and try Google again for E6 (was originally interviewed for E6 but HC approved E5) or keep my E5 offer(My recruiter said HC decision is valid for 12-18 months)?

If i were to take other offers, Can I come back to google (in case i don't like other companies) w/o re-interview or i need to go for full loop again (within said 12-18 months)? Trying to see if it's worth taking a shot outside if there is no risk by keeping E5 offer somehow?

Thanks a lot in advance for your insights and help.
