I fail to understand why you need to mention you are a Googler? It’s unhealthy to tie so much of your your identity to who you work for rather than who you are. Besides that I wish you the best.

Sure! Google is a huge part of my brand and identity. It's where I've learned everything about building products. It's where I've perfected my craft. It also helps others know my background and my pedigree to some extent.
But the fact that you mention it is too braggy. also why are you hidden behind a fake account? You don't even say what city you work in. the world is full of ex-google coders. I'm one myself. this just comes off as trolly.
Hi Latteland, I'm in the bay area, California. I'm hidden behind a throwaway account to protect my identity. Sorry to come across as braggy I don't mean for it to.
