Google would be a great move, but the role is literally just a sales role. nothing great about it, I wouldn't waste my time

But account strategy isn’t a sexy role

Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.

Do it. Once you have Google on your resume you can go anywhere.

M1 were you at Google as an FTE or contractor? Have never seen anyone leave Google as an FTE and come to big 4.? Assuming OP goes with Google, they will be responsible for their own career or progression, just like any other place.

Account strategist is not a good role and does not pay well. So many uninformed

Waiting for peeps that work for Google to chime in. But, my thoughts are that is most likely not a good exit.

Often their account strategist are put in cheap office locations also

If you’re okay with cold calling and a generally sales role I’m sure you could leverage the google name, but from what I know these roles don’t pay well

Also if you can get started early in Google cloud sales, there’s an incredibly high ceiling, both at google and other software companies. Top software sales people make 7 figures

Account strategist doesn’t sound like sales to me 🧐

Go for it! You can pivot into so many other things at Google!

QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
