On a scale of 1-10, how crazy is it to join Yahoo as a front end engineer right now? Anyone work there? What's it like?
Don't join unless you are unemployed.
True. If u have time for thinking about yahoo then u shoulda think about others over it too
please fix yui while you are at it. That is the worst js library I've seen
God help you man! You just boarded a sinking ship
I didn't say I was joining. Was just curious. A related question is how much would it take for you to join a sinking ship like Yahoo?
I no longer work there, but when I left I walked away from $300k/yr total comp while working from 10-4 with a 2 hour lunch break every day. Why did I leave? It was soul crushing.
How so?
Yahoo has amazing front end team with newest tech stack, for a front end engineer, it's better to join Yahoo than other old big companies.
You've gotta be pretty crazy.
Looks like u have worked at yahoo in front-end to pass that judgement.
These people don't know what they're talking about. Yahoo FE is rock solid. Most properties use React. Yahoo also has seats in TC39 and leads the whole Intl efforts in browsers. Yahoo's contributions to Web ecosystem are huge to this day so you should join to become a better engineer instead of listening to these dumbasses.
do it.
11. Rats are all leaving that sinking ship.
Sinking ship? You HOUSECanary people must be really slow. There is no Yahoo anymore just verizon
