Not really. Seems natural, actually, esp of you're a planner making the jump to a tech company or publisher. Long as you get that bump in pay.

Yea it should be fine! There are definitely aspects of account in media (especially if you work at a place that has a media only shop within a full-service) so if you wanted to stay in media, that could be an alternative!

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.
