Yahoo employees: Get out now before the vultures descend

Are you interviewing anywhere else?

You could probably use the off as leverage. Yahoo's engineering core is still well respected in the industry.

Everybody just knows that none of the people in charge have a clue as to what to do with all of that talent.

I am planning to interview with several other companies. But by then I will need to decide whether I want to stick with Yahoo or not. I've heard great things about working at Yahoo (and the downsides) and the offer is fantastic, but my gut instinct is telling me to reconsider..

If you are in love with the group or project that much maybe it will be worth the risk.

But also keep in mind that alot of software shops around the country but especially in hot scenes like the Bay Area, NYC, and Austin,TX are searching far and wide for as many qualified applicants as they can get.

If you can/ are willing to avoid the risk of getting caught up in the Yahoo drama I think it will be wise.

I interviewed with them 2 years ago, and got an offer, and my gut instinct told me the same thing back then.

I liked the people I interviewed with, thou'. That seemed like a fun team.

Oh, well, life goes on.
