It's not like Google is some magical unicorn place though. It's boring soul-crushing big corp job with overwhelming politics.

Seeing smartest people waste their time on this was very depressing for me during 3 years spent there.

Sure but it pays very handsomely to make up for the boringness. I'm already bored/soul-crushed at startups - so I'd be much happier to be bored and getting paid a lot more for it. Politics still seem ridiculous even at the startups I've been at.
