Hello!
I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.
Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
90k for a first job is great but it definitely feels different for a new grad 20-something year old vs a 34 year old. You'll hopefully get raises/promotions and worst case scenario, you can always switch jobs for more money a few years later.
Your main priority should be calculating your expenses per month (rent + utilities, groceries, takeout/eating out, car payments, buying things, etc). If you're just spending too much, then you have to cut back your expenses to make it work. Remember that taxes probably eat up 20-30% of your salary so you probably only get around $65-70k of it (prob like $2600 per paycheck).
The goal for you should be to have money to pay for important expenses (like rent and groceries), contribute some amount to a retirement fund, and save some money (invest as well if you can do both).
90k is great for your age and qualifications. Onward and upward!
Difficult to say whether or not it's a good salary without a better understanding of the position, skills/education required, the industry you're in, and cost of living in your area

I’m currently at my 1st job at 85K, so 90K is pretty good. And don’t feel bad about not knowing how to manage your money, it’s not something that was taught in school
Yallright my dude. 36 and just cracked 100K. I'd worry more about happiness than money if you're above 80k.
