got team matched to a GCP team, but a little worried about the future of this group since they are third place behind aws and azure, HM told me GCP is growing and there are lots of opportunities, can googlers or xooglers chime in?
(edit) also when i get my offer im assuming im past the VP review? my recruiter at google didnt answer my question directly, want to make sure theres no chance of rejection if i decide to accept
Yoe: 5
TC: 350
@google @gcp
Want to see the real deal?

That said, if you care about impact, it's always going to be a bit depressing to know you're working on a product that is a distant 3rd place with virtually no chance to ever go beyond that (that is, all the work you'll be doing is to just ensure you don't fall to 4th place or below)
Of course, things could be much worse, you could have matched with the Meet/Chat org instead π
GCP is the place where interesting work is happening. The tech stack in some teams are pretty slick.
Google is pretty flexible in moving orgs, you can move out of GCP if you don't like it.
I personally know few folks who are pretty happy at GCP so I'd say give it a shot. Else your waiting will be long.
