Also recognize that getting in there may not be what you really want, despite reasonable compensation and having them on your resume. Aspirants are, more often than not, hired into a candidate pool and don't know what they'll be working on at interview time. If being a Googler is worth years of working on crufty ad sales dashboards, then have at it.

I totally agree, and this was the scariest part when I was hired. But you do have some choice in the matter, and you are expected to stay in your first role for 18 months. I was hired into a "crufty ad department" and made my move after 18 months into a department I love.
