Should I stay at yahoo or join LinkedIn

I got an offer from LinkedIn yesterday. Is it a good time to join LinkedIn after MSFT acquisition or should I stay at yahoo and do more interviews?

I'd pick LNKD over Yahoo any day. The only question is why you stayed at Yahoo for as long as you did.

Yahoo Xooon OP Jan 26, 2017

Doing great at yahoo and can't find competing salary

Google perhaps Jan 26, 2017

Yahoo is over paying to retain people. it's actually good to join there now for next two years then switch again

Doing more interviews is always good option if you can delay accepting the offer. However staying back at yahoo seems bad.

Yahoo Xooon OP Jan 26, 2017

I think I agree but what should I tell the recruiter? They might find someone else.

LinkedIn is not cheap startup that will take away offer after they have given it out to you.

Microsoft Hmmm.. Jan 26, 2017

What is your concern ? I think the acquisition of LinkedIn by MS is a good thing for LinkedIn. Before the acquisition, the stock was going down, after, it's been going up. MS can give some positive directions to LinkedIn to become more than a resume holder.

Concerns is uncertainty

What does that mean? You think we'll lay off a bunch of LinkedIn employees so soon? Doubtful, unless Satya leaves. The honeymoon period has just begun.

Yahoo poke Jan 26, 2017

Microsoft have great health benefits, I assume that LinkedIn now part of ms are way better than yahoo / verizon

Yahoo Xooon OP Jan 26, 2017

What are these health benefits? Details plz?

If you are under 30/single it won't be a big deal, but with family kids it's the best among tech companies.

Lol! Stay at yahoo? I'd leave IT and take a job on an organic farm before going to yahoo.

Yahoo Xooon OP Jan 26, 2017

Amazon is good company but cheap on perks

Amazon ΠJan 26, 2017

Correction: amazon is not a good company. Do not take a job here.

Amazon ΠJan 26, 2017
