People say if you stay long time at yahoo it's gonna look bad on your resume, is that really true? What is the real factor of leaving your current job, I'm very happy at yahoo, I like the team, the work I'm doing, the culture, the people, everything is amazing." I understand that Yahoo is not producing amazing product". What do you guys suggest ?

Please no trolling

    Leave only if you don't enjoy what you are doing. Don't leave because of what people say... In this market you will get a job that you want (as long as you are ready for it) without caring much for your resume

    Yahoo won't be a deal breaker, but your next job will need to be through your network. Recruiters will often skip Oracle/Yahoo/etc resumes in a stack, but as a referral nobody will care.

    Stay at Yahoo, enjoy the work life balance and start regularly expanding your network.

      It depends on the lifer, as with anything. But even if all lifers were bad, that's not a reason to discount the entire company. And recruiters know how to filter LinkedIn on people hired in the last four years. Point being yahoo is not a detriment to your resume at all.

      Marissa brought no one! People came for the money, she offered them a lot of money! Many of them didn't believe in the company, nor her leadership!
      Now, that most of them cashed out their RSUs, they left!
      Frankly speaking, most, if not all, of the good great talent left, and those who are still there are either waiting for their RSUs to vest (they got a lot of it) or are too stupid they couldn't find a better job!
      Lastly, without exaggeration, 90% of people (at least engineering folks) are thinking of leaving (even the stupid ones)
      Please don't make things look better than they really are, don't be fools and don't fool others!
      Marissa didn't succeed and Yahoo is pretty much over!

  • Stop listening to anyone who says Yahoo looks bad on your resume. All companies are building the same shit and have people with more or less the same IQ. If it were different, Amazon would not have built Fire, Google would not have built G+ and Facebook would not be losing users to Snap...all companies will go through bad times at some point, in spite of hiring "smartest" people on the planet...

    The notion that Yahoo looks bad on a resume is ridiculous. It's the stuff of junior people with no real industry experience. Yahoo has a lot of great people. Many have left recently, but many are still there. If you like what you're doing and like your team, don't leave. Leave when your career ambitions are no longer being fulfilled.
