I am quite excited to join Google next as an SRE. I am in the phase of SRE team matching and wonder what I should consider when choosing a team. Here are some factors in my mind, your input is greatly appreciated:
Product: preferably some mainstream products widely used like GCP, GSuite, Ads etc.
WLB: this is very important to me. But I don't know how to gauge wlb of a team, maybe a team size of >= 5 means less oncall rotation shifts? don't get me wrong, I am still more than willing to be on call, I just don't want it to occupy all my time
Growth: I am in L4 with 5 yoe now, wondering how an SRE with 10 or 15 yoe is different from a junior SRE. How does picking a team play a role in my career path? And Is it possible to be back to software design/architect role maybe 5 or 10 years down the road?
Location: Bay area + Kirkland, Seattle; so PT timezone
Any other factors to consider?
