Exactly. Trot out the old argument "If we didn't pay that, we couldn't find qualified candidates!" Yahoo had to hire her away from a senior leadership position at Google. She was young, sure, but she was definitely qualified.

Yahoo hired her after she got demoted from senior leadership at Google. They got her on her way down, and vice versa.
