My question is: Have you stopped learning/growing at Google? Staying at Google is probably the safe path. But you're stuck at the Mothership; And as guilded the cage is, it's still a cage. I left my company and now enjoy my days visiting friends, family, biking, dog-walking etc. and work at nights (on the nights I want). My capacity to learn has increased 10-fold now that I'm not slogged down in a 9to5 job (I should add, I'm "old", 46). I've started 3 businesses that are in different stages, one already paying my monthly bills after just 2 months! All I can say is "FREEEEEEEEEDOM!" :-) That being said, Google pays amazing and you'll amass a good fortune that can give you guaranteed freedom if you keep your expenses low and save /invest properly for 8+ years. So the question is: Are you a gambling man? :-)
