Would you take a lower salary to work on something you find particularly interesting? Like I love cars and would love to get a job in the automotive industry designing them but I'm nowhere close to that right now. If I had the opportunity though, I think I'd take like a 20% cut.

Good news! The automotive industry loves to underpay for roles compared to similar roles at tech companies just because they know people will accept less to work in an industry people are passionate about!

That being said, most of the roles are in specific locations, and last I heard, they are heavily RTO, and prefer people with previous experience in the industry. Which makes cracking the industry quite tricky

You do you, bro.

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.
