Yes it is. What are your reservations?

One thing I learned at Yahoo! The press often gets it wrong or sensationalizes leaks from stuff that happened months ago. Look at their market cap it would take years for Facebook to get into a Yahoo! Situation burning cash without profitability.
Looking at the current news. I see both sides the growth and issues. So wanted to know if there is something that people internally might know which someone outside might not. Don't get me wrong, this is my dream job. I know I'll grow my career a lot. Just wanted to know if there is anything concerning that I should be aware of
