Amit joining Uber after a year's break coincides with the common "1 year no-solicitation" clause in employment contracts. I wonder if we are about to see some top people in Google get poached. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
- geodel 10y agoHope so. I guess last exodus was in 2012 when top people like Marissa Mayer and her reports got poached.
- kchoudhu 10y ago> Marissa Mayer and her reports got poached Looks like Google dodged a bullet there.
- snovv_crash 10y agoDunno, I think Yahoo! was basically unfixable. I mean, what would you have done differently? They just had too much dead wood, including the brand name.
- bduerst 10y agoYahoo! became a holding company for Alibaba and Yahoo! Japan. The search and online services are just window dressing.

- nontrivialkk88 10y agoTechnically, the GP said Google's top talent in the context of a possible 2017 exodus. That has nothing to do with Marissa Mayer.
- snarf 10y agoI was really curious about the timing as well with the year off. It appears from the comments below that at least one other engineering VP from Google (Kevin Thompson) has recently joined Uber but without taking a year off. So is the 1-year no solicitation clause that you mention only common for the senior-most employees like SVP and above?
