Hi Blind Community,
I have currently been working full time as a Data Scientist for my company for around 4 years now. The job I currently have is a full time job, no contract. I recently got an offer to work as a temp contractor at Google for 6 months.
I have always wanted to see how working at basically one of the biggest firms in America would be like, but is it worth risking my current standing and my decently high compensation for something that might not even pan out the way I envision?
TC: 155k
YOE: 4
Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

First, its just for 6 months. Then, it's contract position. It means you are not Googler and you won't get G benefit except for buses and food which are not important now.
And you can't even put Google name on your resume. Anyone can report it and you will be kinda forced to remove it asap.
You will be the employee of staffing company. If you are an immigrant with OPT/ H1B status, you may be doomed anytime from staffing company. The staffing companies are so infamous to leave people in limbo in very unexpected ways. They exercise " termination at will" part of the contract very often.
