I just don't have that much drive to get a job. Maybe I underestimate getting a job at google or similar company.

The only problem with big companies is, no matter who they are on an average large set ups are almost the same. There are some minor variations here and there. But your net experience will converge or move around the same point.

I don't know much about Google. But from whatever I've heard. The awesome projects where all this nirvana level work happens are very difficult to get into and bulk of the work is really maintaining legacy system.

Or in other words, its your usual large company. There is a possibility that the experience is marginally better. But as I said will on a average converge to any large corporate experience.

But they pay way more right ? That has to count for something .

Claims 130 is about average engineer salary at the big G.

I think with equity and bonuses it ends up being much, much higher with million/year being possible.
million/year ? where did you get that number ? perhaps its possible in the sales department.
Do they? I've heard (I must confess it was years ago) that google paid less. People went there because it was cool and all that hype.
That is why you must contribute what they deserve and nothing extra.
