Google Downgrade?
Posted by Gordon Smith

Paul Kedrosky: "At the same as a number of engineering friends of mine are leaving Google -- most common complaint: too big and bureaucratic -- MBAs have declared it to be their employer of choice. Food for thought, n'est-ce pas?"

Which would you trust as a better leading indicator: engineers or MBAs?

Eh, more like an inside/outside story than an engineer/MBA story. Or an even simpler story, the grass is always greener on the other side.

With all due respect, this is a serious question? Popularity among MBAs is a sure sign that an industry has just hit its sell-by date. MBA were keen on Wall Street and real estate in 1987, venture capital and dot coms in 1999 and now hedge funds and per your post, Google.

No. I have the same view on MBAs. I suspect that was the point of Kedrosky's post, too.
