I have a offer with similar role and pay from Atlassian. I am working in yahoo from past 2 years have seen lot of politics,instability and layoffs. I have lost my peace of mind working at yahoo. Is it a good decision to move to Atlassian?
Atlassian buils such good products...
Do you mind sharing your experience interviewing with Atlassian? Is phone screen a typical easy/medium Leetcode interview? Any pointers? Thanks
It was a data engineer role. Interview process will be different.
Yes
In my experience every time you have doubts, come up w a negotiation strategy. Ask yourself, how much should they pay you so you would run and not doubt? Then ask for it. It usually works!
Yahoo seems like a sinking ship. It’s really too bad, I used to work there and knew many smart ppl from yahoo. It’s so badly mismanaged and if I were you, I would choose atlassian. They have good products!
Yahoo .. what is the company even working on? the general rep about Yahoo in the tech industry is that it is a tiny branch of some big telecom firm. It’s stopped attracting good talent a long while back and all the good people have left. You don’t want to be viewed as the one who did leave because no one else offered you a job
Yahoo makes most of they money by showing online ads to its users. It also makes money by having an Ad exchange. Now Yahoo and Aol got merged and its called Oath. I still call myself a yahoo employee as I joined before merger acquisition. On paper I am an employee of Oath.
If the role and pay are similar, then I would recommend holding off on moving until you find another role where the pay is higher.
Could you kindly share the TC and breakdown of the offer from Atlassian ?
135k base + 10% annual cash bonus + 60k RSU
Yahoo -> anything a good decision
+1
Even aside from that generalization (which, mind, I agree with) the OPs characterization of /their/ feelings on the place sound like a get the heck out of dodge situation. And Atlassian seems like a pretty cool place to work.
