'How to assign gsutil path to a variable

I'm writing a script to automate db backup. For gsutil to work on bash script, you need to give a full path e.g; /home/user/google-cloud-sdk-358.0.0-linux-x86_64/google-cloud-sdk/bin/gsutil cp ....

Now I want to set the value of which gsutil to a var but it prints blank line. I suspect it the characters that form the path. This was the expected output (/home/user/google-cloud-sdk-358.0.0-linux-x86_64/google-cloud-sdk/bin/gsutil)

Also: Suggestion to the best approach of doing periodic backup of db from gcloud vm to storage bucket is welcomed.

g_util=$(which gsutil)
pw=$(pwd)
g_s=$(which gs)

echo $g_util  #prints a blank line
echo $g_s
echo $pwd
bashgoogle-cloud-storagegcloudgsutil
