    You should take the job. Trust me you will learn everything over time, don't be scared of making mistakes. Everyone has to learn and if they invited you it's because they know exactly what you are capable of.

    Congrats, what a awesome job that would be, working for the king of search.

    I wish you the best of luck and if I was you, I would go for the job.

    I heard everyone who works at Google are millionaires!

    If you only go for easy jobs, you'll work at minimum wage forever. Life rewards those who are willing to step up and learn new things.

    Go for it. Besides you'll come across a new country and a new culture which (atleast for me) is a huge plus.

    Damn, take it of course. Do you think they would have asked you to take the job if you don`t fit in the job ??? They are not stupid, they ask you because they know that you will do a good job and thats it.

    Google is ranked #1 as the best place to get a job in the nation. Free food that is otherwise expensive, sporting events, fun activities, and a campus-like lifestyle make it a very relaxing place.

    It is worth the learning curve. You are extremely lucky. Where are you a student at? How did you get the job?

    I just say, go for it! Do you know how many people out there have a dream to work in Google? Try it and you will get a great life experience.

    Are you from Hungary? Slovakia there :)

    you oversimplify it...

    * Directly manage high-performing teams working on the operations of Google's online advertising program with minimal oversight.
    * Take a lead role in developing and implementing best practices for client interaction, sales, and services for the AdWords and other revenue generating Google products.
    * Increase effectiveness of staff and tools by recognizing opportunities for development and proactively creating new systems and structures.
    * Develop metrics to measure growth and performance of the department, and provide reports as needed.
    * Interface with current advertisers and Google employees to implement editorial and quality guidelines.
    * Execute special projects involving quantitative analysis, industry research, and strategy development.
    * Communicate effectively across Engineering, Product Management, Marketing, and other teams.
