Israeli precision-guided munition likely killed group of children playing foosball in Gaza, weapons experts say
For me these things matter the most which I get at G - 1) WLB - specifically I want to work out 2 hours a day and I easily get to do that whenever I want and plus an hour or two to spend with friends and family a day. 2) the pay is good and I can't complain about it at all - I come with no savings and I have more than 600k now after 4 years of working here. 3) the work I get is challenging but manageable - I'm never burning the midnight oil. 4) I get to work in city I live (SF) and I get food which makes my life so much easier - these two things save me at least 2 hours a day which no other company can. 5) my peers and my managers respect me and I respect them back. 6) I met my spouse here - way out of my league and I got lucky and it feels amazing to share lunch at G together every day. 7) I get to travel all around the world and work from an office of that country - this year I have worked in 8 different cities which I was travelling and barely took days off work. I wouldn't replace my job for slightly more pay or a higher level elsewhere. TC 250k L4 swe
Congrats
If you're happy and your income allows you to save based on your requirements then thats all that matters.
Everything besides 6 & 7 is true I can confirm I know OPs spouse JK. Happy for you OP!
Great saving
How do you get to travel the world? Doesn’t google have strict RTO policies
It's really not that strict you basically need to be missing 1month in a row to trigger the automatic email alert. Aside from that it's between you and your manager to determine how strict the rto policy is enforced.
I was just gone for 7 weeks with no alert email. As long as your manager is cool, you're good.
Sounds amazing op. So many will complain that you are coasting or Google is an adult day care while willing to cut they left arm off to work there. Glad you’re on a good team and org. Every company should treat its staff in this manner.
Not every company is a monopoly to be able to afford such pampering.
congratulations, im still not reading the post
OP might get thrown out soon. Kidding. My friend works at Google and he’s working so hard unlike OP. He’s in important org and is working on LLM but it’s dependent on team. There are folks who work 2 hours a day and know nothing and there are others who are leading research and are advancing. I would take second group any day.
Do us all a favor and never leave Amazon.
And join what? Atlassian lol.😂😂.
"slightly more pay", oh buddy...
Well, maybe double say at ntflx But at least OP is alive
But is he human?
👏👏👏
