Xoogler here: Yes. I'm mid/late career, and came into Google in 2013 and left in 2015 after more than doubling my pre-Google salary. IMHO, it has been worth it for the salary alone.
Interesting, did you reveal your pre-Google salary to Google during negotiation and they doubled it? (without changing the location).
As for your current position (Netflix?) - I guess it wouldn't matter if you came from Google or no, their standard package would be the same (around 450K) I believe.
Money + Google's name on your resume + the experience of going through grueling interviews (self-confident).
