Of course, you'll work with incredibly smart engineers and hopefully have a great experience. Believe me when I say the grass is not always greener on the other side. On HN you'll hear about everyone saying you should work at a startup but believe me 9 out of 10 startups suck to work at. Low pay, working with less than good practices ( compared to google ) , over worked, more than likely the startup will fail, and you won't even have Google on your resume for the future. I would suggest taking the job, build some experience , learn as much as possible, and if you still have the startup itch after a few years go for it.
