I had very good luck living in Central Florida (Orlando) and working for a company based in Silicon Valley (Yahoo). I had a SV salary with Central Florida expenses. A telecommuting opportunity OR a satellite office opportunity gives the greatest ability to arbitrage cost of living vs salary.
- cgtyoder 13y agoI knew that Marissa didn't totally pull the plug on telecommuting - some small percentage got to keep doing it. Nice job with that gig.
- toyg 13y agoThe fact that he "had" such a job doesn't mean he's still there.
- deardenlaw 13y agoTrue. I left in 2008
- deardenlaw 13y ago1. Im no longer at Yahoo. This was 2007-2008. 2. This was not a telecommuting gig, this was a small satellite office due to acquisition (musicmatch/moxie technlogies). As far as telecommuting, when I was at Yahoo, David Filo maintained a small cadre of elite kernel hackers who lived all around the world and worked from wherever they pleased. The reported directly to David. I would be very surprised if Marissa mucked around with that setup.
