Help on google offer!
I already signed my Google offer and told my manager about my resignation today at yahoo. He told me he would promote(which was in process since some time ) me and also give me a bonus to stay back for 3 months. He also told me I would be missing out on the year end bonus. I do not want to stay at yahoo for money or title. But, I am curious if I should use this to get a better offer from google after signing the offer already? Has anybody done this before ?
If you signed already, you will look pretty scummy. I did a similar thing with an internship offer a long time ago and I felt shitty as soon as the words came out of my mouth. They accepted, but it was just an internship and I had absolutely nothing to lose since I could have accepted either one.
Thanks all. In that case, I will talk to my recruiter nicely and see if she can do anything about it.
I don't think they'll do anything but you can try! I know of a similar case (he told them about end of year bonus that he would miss, they said, you already signed the offer)! But you can still try! Interesting that your manager asked/tried to keep you, I thought @Yahoo they don't give a fuck about those who are leaving! Still they want you to stay for only 3 months which seems they're trying to buy time until deal closes! My advice for you, just LEAVE :)
My manager probably wants me to stay for 3 months so that he can get his bonus which might have a clause to make sure his employees stay back. I want to leave soon as well. Just that want to see if google can increase my compensation.
Could yahoo provide similar compensation as google. I heard they have little rsu.
I would leave it alone. If you're interested in uber lmk
Why not stay back for 3 more months get the bonus and then join google.
Leave and never look back.
Worst case, try and delay the Google start date by 3 months (say you want to take a 3 month break or something).
I have decided to move to google soon, even if there are some temporary monetary benefits at yahoo. Want to start fresh soon
My friend did something similar. He signed the Google offer, and then FB came back with 2x stocks. He let Google know about that and Google bumped up his stock too. That said, FB is Google's main competitor while Yahoo is not, so I am not sure if Google would counter offer in this case.
