I doubt that Matt would “work” for anyone after this. He may work WITH some people, but frankly the rules will be more or less his.

$250K certainly wouldn’t do it, let’s be honest with ourselves :)

John Furrier also offered Matt a job on his blog.

“Matt: as the CEO of PodTech there is a job here for you :-) – Just drop me an email. The Cutts Show would be a winner!”

Were I able to afford it YES! Business would get better for sure.

Why leave Google though? I’m gradually getting through the cool wearables at the Google Store – nice products

All of these SEO companies can make the offers to pay Matt these really high salaries but I think I can safely say that the gambling and or porn industries would easily top any offer. What do you say Matt wanna job with some perks? I promise the wife need know nothing ;)

I wouldn’t hire him. How could I possibly work with someone who knows more about the way Google does things than any SEO on the planet? The conversations would consist of:

Matt, does Google do X?”

“Michael, my non-disclosure runs out in 3 years but even then I would not want to ruin the results of what I feel is the best search engine in the universe.”

“Matt, I don’t want to ruin the results. I want to improve them.”

“For yourself.”

“And your point is?”

Not to rain on the parade, but what marketer is ever going to say something like “No, I wouldn’t hire him”?

Especially while he still works at Google!
