Agency creative here who hasn’t had a weekend off this year, let’s switch places

I thought google was the 'place to be' work culture wise. Untrue? I mean if they produce boring ( I imagine consistent nothing new based on what I've seen the past couple of years) work but still give you a good workplace maybe look for creative pursuits outside while they give you a paycheck and equity? I struggle with finding a job that fuels both my passion and paycheck equally but hope you find it.

Hi guys, I got an offer from x and i discussed that with my current. At 1st current said they can only give 30% increment. I said I can't stay with this cause i got 70% and expect at least 50%(as the 70% included VP and the current org don't have vp, they have bonus). Then they said they can do max 45%. I really wanted to stay here so I said okay to current. Then now hr called me and said they are matching the offer(no vp). What should I make out of it? What made them change their mind?
