| ordos | **ordos ?? |
| haha | dimkadimon: That's a straight question. |
| haha | dimkadimon: Let me give you an answer from our CDO Ussama. |
| Dumitru | haha: whom is yahoo hiring ? is there any limitation of country or region from where yahoo is hiring ? or anyone who wants can try to be hired ? |
| haha | dimkadimon: Yahoo has registered users. |
| akw | yahoo: What about Yahoo in India? |
| ordos | haha: How to display Chinese characters ? |
| yahoo1 | Yahoo India is also hiring a lot. |
| yahoo2 | akw: most of the hiring is happening in sunnyvale and pasadena, but we also hire in Asia, India, Taiwan for instance |
| yahoo1 | There are several top development positions available in Bangalore, India. |
| haha | dimkadimon: which means Yahoo can do much more personalization. |
| haha | dimkadimon: and much more other things |
| stubbscroll | yahoo1: is it possible to be hired with no degree, no relevant work experience, but a good topcoder rating? |
| yahoo1 | Yahoo! has the power of the network ... we can reach users across several different properties. |
| danfitch | the bose rowl |
| akw | yahoo: What kind of programmers is yahoo looking for? |
| haha | akw: hard questions |
| ordos | **ordos ?? |
| haha | akw: Yahoo is too large |
| yahoo1 | stubbscroll: That will depend on the particular case. |
| haha | akw: There are a lot of departments which hires different types of programmers. |
| yahoo2 | Dumitru: and there certainly isn't a restriction on where we hire people come from |
| yahoo1 | stubbscroll: It is certainly possible but up to the hiring managers to make the call. |
| akw | haha: are you currently from any department specifically, or just yahoo in general? |
| haha | akw: But in our strategic data solution team, definitely algorithms, machine learning, data mining, statistics are the most important things. |
| ordos | **ordos ?? |
| Jan_Kuipers | haha is in SDS, I |
| Jan_Kuipers | I am in search right now |
| pranav | yahoo1: can you put a person in his specific research domain, say large XML databases? Or say in some area Yahoo is not currently putting too much stress upon? |
| akw | haha: what degrees would the people you are looking for ideally hold? |
| yahoo1 | pranav: Are you referring to a research type of position? |
| pranav | yahoo1: yes |
| haha | I was in web search last year, though. I switched to data mining this time because of my major is data mining. |
| yahoo1 | pranav: Mostly we hire good candidates who fit the overall goals of the company. |
| yahoo1 | pranav: We have Y! Research Labs that has identified several key areas that are not necessarily immediate priorities of Y!. |
| haha | akw: Yahoo has all: BS, MS and PhDs |
| yahoo2 | pranav: the area really has to be one that yahoo as a businedd has an interest in, we wouldn't put someone on designing a PDF like document format, for instance |
| yahoo1 | pranav: But areas that Y! things are strtegic to the company. |
| Dumitru | yahoo2: suppose one wants to work for Yahoo and he's from a foreign country ; then what can Yahoo offer him ? |
| Ryan | what topcoders are working at Yahoo!? |
| Mattman | hello |
| yahoo2 | Dumitru: in their own country? |
| Jan_Kuipers | Ryan: haha, I |
| pranav | yahoo1: Do you offer a fresh graduate research positions? Do you encourage students to complete PhDs? |
| Mattman | I came to see what TopCoder employees are working on at Yahoo |
| Jan_Kuipers | Ryan: kindloaf |
| akw | haha: do you hire based on the statistics from topcoder? |
| Jan_Kuipers | Ryan: we're all interns here this summer |
| dhyanesh | Ryan: me too |
| yahoo1 | Fresh graduates are also welcome along with more experienced people. |
| gprabhu | wanted to know what topcoders do at yahoo |
| gprabhu | do they have enough challenging tasks? |
| gt494 | Jan_Kuipers: what are you working on? |
| sidhuagarwal | do u hire people from india |
| yahoo1 | People who are say mid-way into their Ph.D. program might find it better to do an internship with Yahoo. |
| Mattman | Where are Yahoo locations (HQ and any remote sites)? |
| Jan_Kuipers | gt494: I'm working in the Y! search team now |
| gt494 | Jan_Kuipers: any more details as to specifics? |
| Dumitru | yahoo2: do you mean he will work for Yahoo online through internet ? |
| yahoo1 | Mattman: Y! HQ is in Sunnyvale |
| Dumitru | yahoo2: is such an option possible ? |
| Jan_Kuipers | gt494: buiding a graph of the internet |
| gt494 | haha: sames goes for you :) |
| stubbscroll | yahoo1: do you have an office in norway? |
| yahoo2 | akw: no we don't hire based on topcoder statistics, we hire people based on their resumes, of which the topcoder stats are a relevant portion, but the hiring is done on the basis of resume and interviews |
| Mattman | thank you for the information |
| haha | gt494: I am working in Strategic Data Solution team |
| Mattman | For what types of positions is Yahoo looking to hire? |
| gt494 | haha: what challenges are you facing? |
| haha | gt494: which does data mining on all data in yahoo :) |
| haha | gt494: the challenges are huge amount of data |
| yahoo1 | Yes, we do have an office in Trondheim, NORWAY |
| ordos | **ordos ?? |
| gt494 | haha: how do you deal with that? |
| lbackstrom | haha: can you tell us what sort of things you mine? |
| yahoo1 | Mattman: Yahoo has a variety of positions available ... programming, research, product management, ... |
| haha | gt494: parallel, stream processing, approximation are the usual approaches. |
| yahoo2 | Dumitru: that's harder to do, it would definitely be an exception to the general practice, we have a presence in several countries and it's maybe you can fins something there |
| pulkitbhanot | ir i am a final year student plz help me with regards to careera at yahoo |
| Mattman | yahoo1: Thank you! |
| yahoo2 | pulkitbhanot: what degree are you pursuing? |
| haha | yahoo1: what is the typical career path for an engineer in SDS? This is a question I want to ask. |
| arunprakashb | what do we need to have to become a programmer? |
| Dumitru | yahoo2: ok, so in what Europe countries do you have a presence ? |
| arunprakashb | would we be interviewed in the technology that we work in.. or would it be algorithms |
| haha | arunprakashb: hard to say |
| pulkitbhanot | i am pursuing Computer engineering at National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra |
| yahoo1 | haha: All eng positions are Technical Yahoo! but there are levels of seniority. |
| haha | arunprakashb: anyway, being proficient with one or two languages is a prerequisite for all programmers, I guess |
| GoodBoyFrancis | hi, have you hired people from the philippines? |
| yahoo2 | Dumitru: the uk, france, germany AFAIK |
| yahoo1 | haha: You can get up from engg. all the way to architect. |
| arunprakashb | haha: ok.. |
| Dumitru | yahoo2: for example as I understand, to work in google you need to pass a resume stage, then few tests and interviews (through phone) and after that you are hired and are going to work in USA either in Switzerland |
| yahoo1 | haha: There is also the management path that you can choose to pursue. |
| haha | yahoo1: how many levels? |
| Dumitru | yahoo2: how this system works for Yahoo ? |
| Jan_Kuipers | Mateusz: I am with the yahoo search team this summer |
| GoodBoyFrancis | also, do you hire people who specialize in java rather than in C? |
| yahoo1 | About 5 to 6 I guess |
| ordos | CDM ????? |
| vientoloco | Hi yahoo, :) |
| yahoo2 | Dumitru: each groups hiring is relatively autonomous, google has more centralized hiring as i understand it, you can submit a resume to yahoo through the jobs website, and it'll typically get picked up by recruiters from groups interested in it |
| vientoloco | Google have been realizaed the google Earth, is Yahoo thinking in something like this? |
| yahoo2 | Dumitru: from then on, the question of location, remote work or not, moving, is really between the groups and the candidate |
| haha | vientoloco: Generally companies won't disclose it until it appears. |
| Dumitru | yahoo2: what type of work does Yahoo now need most ? |
| haha | Dumitru: SDS team I guess |
| haha | Dumitru: Strategic Data Solutions |
| haha | Dumitru: and also Web Search. Is that so, yahoo2? :) |
| Dumitru | haha: :) |
| yahoo1 | Dumitru: A lot of groups in Y! are hiring. |
| Dumitru | haha: and what skills are mostly needed ? |
| ganesh1977_2000 | What is SDS? |
| ganesh1977_2000 | will they guess the data? |
| dimkadimon | How do you feel sponsoring TCO05? |
| haha | Dumitru: all skills are needed. |
| yahoo1 | SDS is Strategic Data Solutions - this is the central group that deals with most data related aspects at Yahoo. |
| haha | Dumitru: different positions have different requirements, though |
| yahoo2 | Dumitru: there are many many areas of active development, in Yahoo! Search Tech alone (which is my organization), we need people with expertise in distributed systems, machine learning, graph algorithms, document processing technology... etc |
| Dumitru | haha: what "all skills" ? :)) do you sure need an expert in Delphi ? :) |
| simplicity | /wisper fornix can you tell me when it starts, I dont really know where to wait, I assume it will pop up automatically as I registered? |
| haha | Dumitru: I guess pascal is really out of the industry now :( |
| Dumitru | yahoo2: graph algorithms - graph theory ? or graph statistics ? |
| bcloud | haha: Are you a employee of Yahoo now? If I could ask this question? |
| yahoo1 | Dumitru: For most technical positions we need people with good programming and problem solving skills. |
| haha | Dumitru: C++, java, perl, php are useful if you work in Yahoo |
| Mattman | yahoo1: Are the programming-related positions more along the lines of development, production support, or somewhere in the middle? |
| Dumitru | haha: so :) you see that only "certain" skills are needed :) |
| Dumitru | haha: please list me the most needed now at Yahoo |
| stonewort | haha, are you working for Yahoo? how do you feel? |
| haha | bcloud: I am an intern at yahoo now |
| Dumitru | haha: thanks |
| yahoo2 | Dumitru: a little bit of both |
| Mattman | yahoo2: was that directed at me? |
| yahoo1 | Mattman: Covers all the areas - development, QA, support ... |
| czar | do you guys/gals do ruby coding? |
| Mattman | yahoo1: thank you |
| Dumitru | yahoo2: ok. so for example I would like to be hired by Yahoo. What are the requirements ? |
| haha | Dumitru: In my team, we need to be familiar with c++, perl, and statistics/data mining |
| haha | Dumitru: Good communication is always needed |
| fornix | will any knowledge in 32 bit ASM help? |
| ganesh1977_2000 | haha don't get me wrong, what has perl and c++ to do with stats |
| yahoo1 | ganesh |
| ganesh1977_2000 | yes yahoo1 |
| haha | Dumitru: Most of the great work experience comes from smooth communicatoin with coworkers :) |
| stubbscroll | Jan_Kuipers: how much pure tech do you do in your work (algorithms, math etc), compared to other things (participating in meetings, straightforward programming, etc)? |
| Dumitru | haha: no, not only this. Should I have a bachelor degree first ? If I am hired - will Yahoo pay my trip to work location ? Can I select the work location ? |
| haha | ganesh1977_2000: these are two aspects :) |
| yahoo2 | Dumitru: there isn't a generic set of requirements, the requirements are really specific to the role, you need to have solid programming skills, familiarity with a relevant language (c++, java) helps, |
| yahoo1 | ganesh1977_2000: We do a lot of data intensive work. Processing, transforming, adn preparing the data for stats requires C++, perl expertise. |
| Jan_Kuipers | stubbscroll: fist of all, i've been here for only a couple of weeks now |
| ganesh1977_2000 | Y |
| igorsk | how early do you begin hiring for summer internships? when is a good time to apply for the next summer? |
| Jan_Kuipers | stubbscroll: in the beginning i've done a lot of reading on yahoo! search technology |
| ganesh1977_2000 | Yahoo 1 lets say i dont' know math at all |
| Jan_Kuipers | stubbscroll: but now I'm spending a lot of time programming |
| haha | igorsk: Apply in Jan or Feb |
| haha | igorsk: for internships |
| yahoo2 | igorsk: early in the year is the best time |
| ganesh1977_2000 | then how will you prepare them? |
| Jan_Kuipers | stubbscroll: I hardly spend time in meetings |
| ganesh1977_2000 | I've been to yahoo once ;) |
| stubbscroll | Jan_Kuipers: thanks |
| yahoo1 | ganesh1977_2000: We look in general for these broad skills. Often we get qualified candidates who are very strong in some areas but not in others (say stats or data mining). We will try and pair them up the be best suited groups and or other people who h |
| Jan_Kuipers | stubbscroll: 1 real meeting the last month |
| ganesh1977_2000 | Yeah thats what i guessed |
| Jan_Kuipers | stubbscroll: of course some brainstorming with my manager |

| stubbscroll | Jan_Kuipers: sounds good |
| Jan_Kuipers | stubbscroll: I'm really liking it here... |
| yahoo1 | ganesh1977_2000: In geenral we are looking for good problem solvers. |
| haha | yahoo1: That's what I am interested in :) |
| Jan_Kuipers | stubbscroll: excellent place to spend the summer |
| ganesh1977_2000 | Ok...A Problem can have million faces do you believe only one can solve? |
| Jan_Kuipers | stubbscroll: and they're also organizing lots of fun things for the interns and for the other employees |
| thearrogantone | yahoo1: what areas are you guys working on in the india center? |
| stubbscroll | Jan_Kuipers: it turns out yahoo has an office in the city i plan to move to this autumn, so i might get a chance to work there too :) |
| Jan_Kuipers | stubbscroll: where are you moving to? |
| stubbscroll | Jan_Kuipers: trondheim (norway) |
| nicka81 | amorosov: privetik ;-) |
| ganesh1977_2000 | Even if we assume that, when you put on a group how will you make sure he is the best bet |
| Jan_Kuipers | stubbscroll: that's cool |
| yahoo1 | thearrogantone: Yahoo India is working on a lot of development related projects. |
| yahoo2 | ganesh1977_2000: not sure I understand the question |
| yahoo1 | thearrogantone: Several modules are developled entirely in Bangalore others are joint efforts between Sunnyvale and Bangalore. |
| yahoo2 | stubbscroll: trondheim is where most of our vertical search effort is |
| fornix | yahoo doesn't need any Machine level language skills? |
| thearrogantone | yahoo1: anything related to information retrieval/machine learning/algorithms? |
| yahoo1 | thearrogantone: Yes, a lot of work in IR/Machine Learning/Data Mining |
| stubbscroll | Jan_Kuipers: hmm, what's "vertical search"? |
| yahoo1 | thearrogantone: I work in the Data Research team within SDS. We do a lot of data mining. |
| yahoo1 | thearrogantone: Yahoo! Search has a lot of people who work in that area. |
| yahoo1 | thearrogantone: Then there is Y! Research Labs. |
| thearrogantone | yahoo1: in bangalore you mean? |
| Dumitru | haha: usually, how many people does a yahoo group contains ? |
| TucTheAngry | But i think the real question is if Yahoo needs a classical pianist. :-P |
| yahoo1 | thearrogantone: Yes, even in Bangalore. |
| NAFI-AUST | satej: satej vai r u there.. |
| yahoo1 | thearrogantone: Part of our data research team is in B'lore. |
| yahoo2 | stubbscroll: a vertical is a property like Mail or Autos |
| thearrogantone | yahoo1: sounds good. how does one to that group? |
| thearrogantone | yahoo1: *sorry i meant how does one apply to that group? |
| Dumitru | haha: by the way, you didn't yet answer to the question about - does Yahoo pay the trip of the employed worker from a foreign country ? |
| yahoo2 | Dumitru: if a group decides to hire you from your own country and move you, then they will cover your trip |
| satej | NAFI-AUST: hi |
| Dumitru | yahoo2: nice :) |
| satej | NAFI-AUST: i am here |

| thearrogantone | yahoo1: what skill sets are you guys looking at? |
| yahoo1 | ganesh1977_2000: We have an entire search team that is working on optimization of the search results/ ranking/ relevance etc. |
| satej | NAFI-AUST: main baad dao |
| haha | ganesh1977_2000: That means inktomi employees are mostly now Yahoo employees |
| NAFI-AUST | satej: disi.. |

| thearrogantone | yahoo1: and one final question. how do i apply? |
| yahoo2 | Jan_Kuipers: jobs.yahoo.com |
| yahoo1 | jobs.yahoo.com is a good starting point. |
| thearrogantone | yahoo1: for bangalore too? |
| yahoo2 | thearrogantone: yes you can look for jobs in all our locations |
| yahoo1 | Yes, all global opportunities are listed there. |
| thearrogantone | yahoo1: what is the response time? i.e. how quickly do they get back to you with a yes or a no? |
| yahoo1 | I also pointed you to our India site: http://in.docs.yahoo.com/hr/ |
| yahoo1 | Typically very quickly. |
| yahoo1 | Recruiters monitor the applications and then pursue things with the hiring managers. |
| thearrogantone | yahoo1: i am asking the question again (it seems like you missed it). how does a guy with BE(CS)+MS(CS) fit into the bangalore center? |
| yahoo1 | Yes, definitely. |
| yahoo1 | A lot of opportunities, depending on what you plan to do. |
| yahoo1 | I told you a bit about my group ... |
| yahoo1 | SDS covers all aspects of data ... warehousing, analytics, business intelligence, data mining etc. |
| thearrogantone | yahoo1: ok. let me put it this way. can i get a "research" job as opposed to a vanilla coding job? or is it just reserved for PhDs ? |
| yahoo1 | No you can also get a research position. |
| yahoo1 | Please bear in mind that this will not be the typical research that you think of in a research lab. |
| yahoo1 | For that we have Y! research labs. |
| yahoo1 | Here the research is focused on more applied problems. |
| thearrogantone | yahoo1: sounds good. i will certainly consider applying to yahoo! bangalore once i get back. they just need to be fast in getting back to me. |
| yahoo1 | Problems that will help the different business units improve the user experience. |
| yahoo1 | and / or increase monetization potential. |
| thearrogantone | yahoo1: alright. thanks guys. thanks for your time. i am outta here. |
| yahoo1 | Good luck. |
| thearrogantone | yahoo1: thanks. |

| thearrogantone | yahoo1: so i just checked the yahoo bangalore openings. i am interested in the research scientist position. but it says " M.S./Ph.D. or equivalent in Comp. Sc., Statistics or Math / 5+years " |

| thearrogantone | yahoo1: ok. so i have the qualifications but not the "5+years" experience. now what? |
| yahoo1 | thearrogantone: I recommend that you go ahead and apply. |
| yahoo1 | thearrogantone: Sometimes, depending on the candidate and background managers might be willing to consider applications that don't meet all criteria. |
| yahoo2 | thearrogantone: go ahead and apply anyway, the requirements aren't always rigid, |
| jai_vignesh | yahoo2: Sir, I am from India and an M.tech from Energy systems with strong programming skills , Even in assembly language |
