Join Google in 2020, do mediocre work, still feel proud about it.
Could you negotiate with Google to match your highest offer? Also, joining Google would open you to more opportunities down the road
Is it me or that Google offer looks very low (for PhD +3.5 years)
Blinders are statistically obsessed with Google, so you will not get meaningful results
