Good Pay, Lackluster Ambition
Good Pay, Lackluster Ambition
Pay is good, has great benefits. Would recommend Software Engineering/Development/PM at Google if you want a nice, comfy job with perks and good pay.
People not particularly ambitious or passionate, as if their life goal was to get into Google and there isn't much more to them than that. There's no long-term dream to accomplish anything meaningful.
Would not recommend Software Eng/PM at Google if you want to do something fulfilling that matters, unless your passion is specifically about building certain software tools. Realize that this will more often than not impact a small group of people, and not in a particularly meaningful way.
