Not a good first foot forward. You're willing to begin your relationship with a new employer based on dishonesty. Not a good way to start. I don't even see wha

I don't even see what people see in wanting to work at Google. If you think you have the technical skills to make it through a Google interview, lots of much better places to work at will pay you just as good as a salary. Google is a corporate behemoth approaching a hundred thousand employees. You're not going to make a difference there like you could somewhere else.

- ditonal 7y agoActually only a few companies will pay as much as Google (Google salary is low but they pay a ton of stock you can immediately sell for cash, so it’s effectively cash). Most people seem to overestimate how fun it is to work at Google but underestimate how much Google pays and how much more it is than most other companies.
- titanomachy 7y agoI'm sure there are companies that pay as much, but none as well-known and easy to apply to. Google has a massive recruiting machine, and chances are pretty good that they will at least interview you (compared to e.g. Netflix). And they are a household name and have a reputation even outside of the industry as a great employer.

What about total compensation? The only places I'm currently aware of that give a similar compensation package are the other FAANG companies which I don't see being much better. The places I'm aware of that offer larger compensation companies (e.g. finance) usually don't seem to me to have as nice an atmosphere.
