Ouch - Top 9 [Ten] Reasons For Leaving Yahoo!

by Mark on March 26th, 2008

Elinor Mills answers the question;

1. Want to escape before Yahoo gets acquired by Microsoft

2. Lack of innovation at Yahoo

3. Excessive bureaucracy

4. Seeking job stability and expect more layoffs

5. Want to be bigger fish in smaller pond elsewhere

6. Yahoo has lost its focus

7. Volatility of stock price after Microsoft offer

8. Poor management

9. Long hours and on-call nights and weekends

And adds one to round out the list:

10. Google is hiring

Elinor referenced this article at Ask BINC which is actually reporting on someone who is interviewing for a position at Yahoo! Boris goes much deeper into detail for the reasons folks are leaving Yahoo! and offers a brisk contradiction;

“the same manager who is trying to recruit this candidate is turning right around and taking a call from somebody like me about his next potential career opportunity. Not sure if anybody else has noticed, but isn’t it interesting how every single manager’s resume is out on the internet and their LinkedIn profiles are suddenly detailed and updated.”

Boris’ article is nothing short of scathing - good read…
