Hey everyone,

I’m at a crossroads and could use your thoughts.

Option 1: Google interview. I’m unprepared and would need to grind hours on leetcode with no guarantee of success. It feels like a time sink.

Option 2: Lead a department with 100+ people. Pay is decent, but growth is uncertain.

Option 3: Consulting. It pays well and takes fewer hours, enough to cover my bills.

And then there’s Mevin. I’m all in and determined to make it succeed.

I’m leaning towards consulting + Mevin, but it means dealing with some instability.

I do have a safety net for now. Consulting could extend that.

What would you do?
