Choose between stable government job and high-paying Google job

I may regret leaving my stable government job for a high-paying Google job, but with a chance for better work-life balance.

What I wish I knew
"More about work-life balance at FAANG companies"
If I could tell you one thing
"Weigh the pros and cons of job stability vs. financial gain"
