I worked at the Google office in London as an SRE. I arrived their via acquisition. Google was a leisurely existence in comparison to the startup world. I could easily achieve nothing if only by just enjoying the endless perks. In the early days I had a lot to prove and pulled double duty by trying to stay awake in multiple time zones to get things done quickly. In the end being in my 20s I felt like I was losing my edge being there and had to go back to the startup world. Maybe one day I'll return when I have a wife and kids.
