- rdl 14y agoI wonder if people are staying for less of their earn-outs now than in the past.
- gaborcselle 14y agoI would guess I'm actually above average just based on my personal sample of people who have gotten acquired.
- jazzychad 14y agomeaning stayed longer than average?
- paul 14y agoAgain :)
- gaborcselle 14y agoFor the 3rd time actually if you count not converting after my internship with you.
- franze 14y agoyour HN profiles about section is out of date, just saying.
- gaborcselle 14y agoTechnically not until tomorrow which is my last day. Thanks for the reminder!
- amirmansour 14y agoI thought people had an idea first before leaving!?!
- jazzychad 14y agonot necessarily. sometimes people just need a break to sit around and think/relax before diving in again. plus, if you have the money sitting around to chill for a while, this is an appealing option.
- MattLaroche 14y agoPlus if Gabor doesn't come up with another successful idea before he needs money (which I doubt), he can always get a day job again to pay the rent.
- staunch 14y agoIf you did have an idea before leaving it'd still be wise to "have" the idea after you left, out of an overabundance of legal caution.
- gaborcselle 14y agoGood point - I wouldn't be too worried about Google's lawyercats (unless you do something egregious) but for other companies this may be really important.
- gaborcselle 14y agoThis comment got me thinking: http://blog.gaborcselle.com/2012/06/i-thought-people-had-idea-first-before.html http://blog.gaborcselle.com/2012/06/i-thought-people-had-ide...
- DigitalSea 14y agoSeems like everyone is leaving Google lately. Best of luck Gabor.
- jerf 14y agoNobody works at Google anymore, it's too crowded.
- DigitalSea 14y agoI hear they have plenty of space over at AOL and Yahoo! though ;)
- swah 14y agoIf they'd let me in, the bar would be to low and I wouldn't want to work there anymore..
- nroman 14y agoGood luck. Hope to see you soon! -Roman
