Good point, if you're not at a startup, you're not necessarily going to be working for Google as an alternative. What if your alternative is to work for a stodgy non-tech firm because you're invested in a given domain (i.e., automotive, legal, biotech)?
The whole article is full of trollish comments like "There might be a generous paycheck in getting stuck on the Google bus for the next decade, but there sure ain’t any glory in it." - not all, or even most, Googlers take the bus. There is excitement and potential success stories even in large organizations like Google.
HN is best to ignore this kind of flame bait posting.
