Yeah :) happy on the money front. I didn't mention this earlier, but I'm a Googler and my role is to make sure that big customers are as happy as possible on GCP. And Google still pays well (talking with my SWE friends my total comp lands around the middle of the pack, perhaps a bit fewer stock grants). I was a SWE (also at Google) before, so maybe they didn't change my comp too much in the new job family. I don't know as those things are mysterious.

Also, not all projects are this fun. Sometimes is solving the same problem over and over or working with customers that aren't tech savvy and there is a bunch of politicking and "fluffy" stuff.
