Take Google and see if u can do advisory work for the startup on side for equity.

I am bias as worked at Google but left for startup world and would never go back. The Google name can open pretty much any doors

This would be a violation of Google’s anti-moonlighting clause, so only take this advice if you’re willing to lose your job at Google over it.

Which is unenforceable because it is a violation of the California labor code section 96 k. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio....

It doesn't have to be enforced if they fire you "without cause" (because of the moonlighting)

Which is exactly when the labor board would come along and sue them for it very publicly, yes

Under what grounds? The burden of proof is on the employee and the employer can just stonewall and deny everything with zero recourse.

They could claim it was your performance, your motivation, conflict with the team or anything else really if they were ever pressed to give a reason.
