g recruiter reached out for L5 Currently E5, burnt out, is it worth coming to Google for better wlb even with lower pay? TC 600k
No
I don’t think it’s good idea
$$$
Yes. WLB is much better in most teams and stress is lower at Google
Much, much lower
No G is unstable. Why take a paycut for an unstable job?
Google is a big company. Big companies have good teams and bad teams. It’s probably worth talking to them in case you get an offer to join a good team. Having a decent offer in hand can relieve a lot of stress when you are burned out.
No if you’re single
Why
Yoe?
I find it hard to believe that you'll be offered a role in a good team. There are far too many internal candidates that I suspect any role you get offered will naturally be for a team others are avoiding. It's worth trying I suppose.
Exactly
would it be a good idea to join a bad team first then internal transfer?
