So, approx. 3 years == disillusioned?

Unless it was a planned stepping-stone all along, to land the real "dream" job and have the credentials to command a more magnanimous compensation than they would without that Google tenure.

For 'beginners' they usually don't have the experience or the network to plan such a stepping stone ahead of time.

If you come in the side door (shift sectors, side-learn upgrade your capabilities) you may have the experience to plan ahead like that. But this was about beginners so I suppose that doesn't matter in this case.
