I'm thinking about this. However, how unreasonable it really is to stay at a tech company for less than 8+ years? All my acquaintances in Silicon Valley, especially the most talented ones, never had a gig that lasted more than 2-3 years. Things always "happened" to them. Putting all my eggs in this basket for such a long time makes me a bit uncomfortable. By moving to Google-like, I would shake things a little bit more for my career and possibly chase some luck.

If there's a reasonable chance that you can cash-out in four years, I'd gamble on that. Then do absolutely anything you want.
