I would love if the author would come talk to a few of us and maybe take a tour of the place and see what makes this place work.&lt;p&gt;I work at Yahoo, joined a few months ago, run engineering management for a couple of teams working on high-performance cloud stuff very core to the way Yahoo works. I find the engineers sharp and smart, the technology problems fascinating (insane scale/perf requirements) and in general, look forward to getting up and driving to Sunnyvale every morning.&lt;p&gt;None of that is going to change unless something really dramatic happens.&lt;p&gt;P.S We&apos;re hiring. :) If any of you want to work on a platform serving a ridiculous (and I do mean ridiculous) number of requests and users, hacking on cutting-edge distributed programming work, send me email (address on my profile).</text></comment>

The bidding war will temporarily bump up your stock price &amp;#38; options, giving you a better time to sell them.   Then the vultures will offer buy-outs to encourage employees to leave.   I doubt the vultures will be overly generous in their buy-outs but it can still amount to a substantial amount of cash if you&apos;ve been there a while.</text></comment>
