Strangely enough, I just turned down a job offer from Google today, for a complex variety of reasons. Mainly, though, I had a choice between a promotion at my current company, where I know exactly what I'm getting into, and a job at Google, which is a giant black box from the outside with a promise that they'll find you something you will want to work on. (I had two other job offers as well in fact, so it wasn't just those two choices) Probably the hardest decision I've ever made. I'm sure I would have been happy with any of the offers, but I feel like I might as well take up my employer's offer and see how things go for the next year or two (also they offered more salary than Google did but the bonuses aren't multiplied like they are at Google).
