I am under my stem opt status and it will expire about 1 years. I got a yahoo offer and want to join because yahoo can transfer me to Canada if I am not being selected for h1b next year. I also think there will be lots of learning opportunities... Do you guys think this is a safe move? Advice please.... #engineering #software #swe #google #microsoft #amazon #yahoo #verizonmedia #apple #netflix #ibm #linkedin TC: 🥜
Yeah it's a safe move
I am worried if yahoo will be sold by Apollo....
Yeah it will be soon.
If you can't find a job willing yo take you to Canada, join yahoo. Now, I am not sure who will buy yahoo right now... also yahoo getting bought does not mean you will def lose your job.
Thank you ~
Waiting for @ Mr. Yahoo to comment…..
Hi Mr. Amazon, I am so worried about the pip culture.... Will I get less chance being piped if I work very hard?
You’ll have less chance getting PIP’d if you have open communication with your manager and know how to read social cues. Performance is only part of it.
Go to AOL instead.
Team?
Does the team make a difference?
Somewhat. Apollo has gone on the record in the news that they will sell us off piece by piece. Depends on what piece you join. If you join a strong standalone product vertical, probably okay. Central tech for example, more uncertainty. But sometimes offer in hand is better than nothing.
Did you end up joining Yahoo?
Yup, it is a safe move
Go to Amazon
Amazon have PIP... And is freezing
Not freezing. It's pip only
