And if salary is what matters use them as resume-points to get a higher salary somewhere else.
There are some things you may want to consider when using this strategy. For example, choose the appropriate amount of time you want to spend at Google. Too short may be suspicious, but too long would be a lost purpose if your goal is to make more money somewhere else later.
Optimize for having the most impressive CV when you leave. This means you should have an impressively sounding job description. Think about your CV items “on project X I worked as Y and my responsibilities were Z”, and try to manage your career within Google to optimize these.
Have a plausible story about why you decided to work for Google, and why you later decided to work somewhere else. This story can also be made up later, but if you prepare it in advice, you can make it more realistic.
The most simple version of this advice would be: If you choose Google with hope of having an impressive CV and a higher salary later, don’t stay there for the next 10 years in a role of code monkey working all the time on some completely unknown project that will be cancelled shortly after you leave.
