Just quit consulting 9 months ago for a tech company (think PayPal/square). Got 110% pay increase (RSUs jumped) and I work 10-4 and my manager is insanely supportive (I was only here for 1 month of perf cycle but was given full year bonus/raise equivalent). However, Google recruiter just reached out for an interview. Do I take it?

Just bc you take the interview...
1) doesn’t mean you’ll get the job
2) doesn’t mean you have to accept the offer

You only have more to gain by taking the interview!

This is my 4th job in 3 years out of school, and first time I’ve loved my team and work this much. I do work directly for C suite here and feel heavily invested in. I feel like I can just grow here safely (they are also paying for my degree) and in a few years leave to FAANG if I want? FAANG salary would only give me like 30k extra right now and I feel the intangibles are worth more at the moment

ok maybe postponed isnt the right word for it but they asked to keep in touch

Take the interview — it’s always good to get the practice and gauge your market value, and Google will just keep you in their rotation and reach out for another gig down the road if you pass on this one. But based on everything you said, I can’t think of any reason why you’d want to actually take the job.
