Google or self-employment
Great colleagues, competitive pay, industry-leading benefits, nimble for a large company. The company is pursuing very lofty goals and really leading the industry on a number of fronts. After 8 years, Google is still a great place to work, and I can't imagine working for any other company. The only thing that could pull me away would be to start my own venture.
Employees are almost exclusively from top-tier universities and privileged backgrounds. There is a relative lack of intellectual and cultural diversity.
Keep yourselves in touch with the needs of normal people. You have high-caliber lives and you care a lot, but try to remember the nature of your privilege.
Continue to pursue diversity goals.

Standard interview loop for big tech. There was a remote round and then several in-person rounds. LeetCode type with one system design and one behavioral. No major surprises. The only distinguishing thing is that their process is very slow.

The interview was amazing, but I had a misunderstanding with the interviewer. I tried to communicate with her, but I think I embarrassed myself. Overall, I got a rejection after the interview :( I hope I will get an offer next year!!!
