My opinion of Google is great technology, but no product focus with the attention span of a crack addled flea. My personal “blind man feeling on the elephant” perspective in my corner of the world - cloud consulting - is that when I was an employee of the consulting division at AWS, was that we never saw GCP as a serious competitor. It wasn’t because of the technology. But they had no clue organizational how to talk to the “enterprise” and meet them where they are. I had a more than even odds in 2023 to work for GCP doing the same thing I did at AWS - making more money - but I was kind of over the big company thing and from talking to people at Google, the same political pro mo culture was there too. Besides they had a return to office mandate for their former “field by design” roles before AWS and working in an office was a non starter for me. But to your other point, at now 51 years old and on my 10th job, I always have my eye on my next job and keep my resume updated. I love my current job. But facts on the ground can always change.
