vaibhavtopcoderYandex_Sergei: hmmm is there any role of PHP in ur compny
vaibhavtopcoderYandex_Sergei: ?
Michael_Levin"vaibhavtopcoder: As a reference point for algorithms and programming, it's better to be at least yellow to come to the interview. You may be blue and still fit in, if you don't participate in competitions professionally."
Yandex_Sergei"vaibhavtopcoder: Unfortunately, no."
pt1989Michael_Levin: do you take in international people?
Michael_Levinvaibhavtopcoder: you can send your resume to tco@yandex-team.ru

pt1989Michael_Levin: meaning?
pt1989Michael_Levin: you have to shift base to Moscow?
Minnywhere are your offices?
Michael_Levin"pt1989: we take either russian-speaking people or take people to our Yandex Labs office in California, you can use English there"

AntCheis it possible to work remotely or in Perm?
MinnyMichael_Levin: are you a yandex employee? cause it says you are a student
Michael_Levin"Gluk: Hey, we don't have developers in Kiev. Only Simferopol."
Michael_LevinMinny: I'm a Yandex employee. I'm the lead of Yandex Traffic Jams Infrastructure. I also participate in TopCoder since like 2004.
ayesha_shhnY
Michael_Levin"AntChe: Remote work is theoretically possible, but we consider such cases individually. Please send us your information to tco@yandex-team.ru."
chetan1507Michael_Levin: any internship opportunities available for the summers
Yandex_Sergei"vaibhavtopcoder: Yes, conditions for internship program are the same"
ktuanMichael_Levin: can non-Russian speakers work there ?
Michael_Levin"chetan1507: We plan summer internship, but it is very limited to the top candidates. You can also send your resume to tco@yandex-team.ru. You will need to pass some testing to be able to come to the summer internship, as there is a competition for that."
hamdanilwhare are your offices
Michael_Levin"ktuan: Non-Russian speaking programmers can work only at Yandex Labs in California. It is not very big, so it is hard to come there, but it is possible."
chetan1507Michael_Levin: any minimum criteria to appear for it
Yandex_Natalia"hamdanil: Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Yandex Labs in California, Simferopol - development offices "
Yandex_Sergeivaibhavtopcoder: Your also can see http://company.yandex.ru/job/intern/ (only in Russian)
Minny"Michael_Levin: is there any interested in non-russian speaking, non-russian residence in Europe?"
udpnMichael_Levin: there's gonna be somewhat like sorting a 1g array of ints in 5 sec e.g?
pt1989Yandex_Sergei: are there plans to make an english version of Yandex ?
Michael_Levin"chetan1507: Well, there is no strict minimum criteria, but we expect to take some red people to it. You don't have to participate in TopCoder or be red there, but you have to be of respective level."
Yandex_Sergei"Michael_Levin: Yes, we have"
Michael_LevinMinny: Currently there isn't
TimComp"Hello. How big are salaryies in your Moscow office? For example, 3-5 years experienced C++ Developer."
Yandex_Sergei"pt1989: Yes, we have."
Michael_Levin"udpn: might be, but it is just one of tons of questions that you might hear"
Minny"Michael_Levin: thanks you, michael"
Michael_Levin"TimComp: It depends a lot on your actual level. Doesn't depend much on experience in C++, although it will probably be helpful."
udpn"TimComp: this is not the thing they like to talk about, you won't get an exact answer =)"
Michael_Levin"TimComp: You can send us your resume at tco@yandex-team.ru, we can consider question of salary individually"
Michael_LevinTimComp: The e-mail tco@yandex-team.ru is obvisously especially for the TopCoders
Egoryanwhats the point of this lobby? yandex hiring some topcoders or what?
forestis there age cutoff ?
Michael_Levin"forest: you must have work permission, other than that - no"
Michael_LevinEgoryan: Yandex answering your questions about employment opportunities at our company
SharpCHow much is topcoder-rating of Yandex (like rating of universities)?
Michael_Levin"SharpC: I don't know the rating of Yandex, we don't compute it, but we have several red people, and, for example, UDH_Winger and Burunduk1 work for us"
SharpCMichael_Levin: I must fix it!
Michael_LevinSharpC: Fix what? :)
TimComp"Michael_Levin: Thank you. Of course, salary is individual, but I'm interested about average salary level of developers in your company with such experience. "
Michael_LevinSharpC: We obviously also have yellow people and non-participating people)
Michael_Levin"TimComp: We don't publicly answer such questions, also this number wouldn't be meaningful, as different people with the same amount of experience get very different salaries. So ask this question individually - you might hear something from us."
Egoryan"Michael_Levin: i woudl like to know if there is an opportunity to work as a researcher at Yandex ( not only coding,coding,coding stuff )."
TimCompMichael_Levin: Ok. Do you have something like attestation or what? How people in your company build their career?
Michael_Levin"Egoryan: Yes, there is. But you get the wrong impression. It is not coding,coding,coding for a regular SWE. There is a lot of design work. And also some projects are so research-y, that regular engineers are somewhat researchers."
Michael_Levin"Egoryan: As a leader of Yandex Traffic Jams Infrastructure group, I've solved several deep mathematical problems during the last half a year."
udpn"Michael_Levin: SharpC is just kidding, he's an employee of Yandex just as you are =)"
Michael_Levin"TimComp: Mostly, the career movements are after the project launches."
Michael_LevinTimComp: There is no formal procedure
Michael_LevinTimComp: You and your boss decide on your aims
Michael_LevinTimComp: Then evaluate the results
Michael_Levin"TimComp: If they are higher than expected consistently, you get a promotion"
Michael_Levin"TimComp: If they are higher than expected sometimes, you get bonuses, which are a significant addition to you salary"
Michael_Levin"TimComp: When your boss is bored with giving your bonuses every several months, he gives you a promotion"
udpnMichael_Levin: Just as I am and everybody here are.
SharpCMichael_Levin: udpn is just kidding :)
Michael_Levin"Egoryan: Also there is a group here, which solves mostly research problems, and does not-so-much coding. But you must have very deep mathematical skills."
udpnSharpC: Stop copying me
SharpCudpn: You are already have been copied
SharpCudpn: all of 42 bytes
forest"about salary, does it depend on the office location"
Michael_Levin"forest: Yes, it does"
udpn"SharpC: My 42 bytes of the everlasting, perfect Perl regexp."
SharpCudpn: Try to RSA it
EgoryanMichael_Levin: would you recommend to enter yandex data analisys school to enter this group?
forest"so if entering Yandex it does make sense to aim to Moscow only, right ?"
udpnSharpC: You mean I could get some bucks selling it?
SharpCforest: Moscow is very expensive city
forestI know)
Michael_Levin"Egoryan: Yandex Data Analysis school will be probably useful for you anyway. But it is not necessary. You should have deep mathematical skills by that time already, otherwise you won't probably be able to gain them when you are already 20 or so."
Michael_Levin"Egoryan: School gives fundamental knowledge in Algorithms, Data Analysis, Probability Theory, MAchine Learning."
Michael_LevinEgoryan: But you should already be able to solve complex mathematical problems
Michael_LevinEgoryan: Read articles
Michael_LevinEgoryan: Decipher the articles and apply them to the practical problems
AjJican you explain what's the main research area for yandex? :)
udpnAjJi: search systems?
Michael_Levin"AjJi: There are a lot of topics. They touch Web Search, Advertisement, Anti-Spam technologies and Maps(Traffic Jams) in the first place. "
Aleksdo you have offices outside Russia? :)
Michael_Levin"Aleks: Yes, we have offices in Ukraine and in California."
udpn"Aleks: yeah, Ukrain =)"
AjJi"great, do you ""release"" any products or just do research for other companies/organizations ?"
Michael_LevinAjJi: We do research for ourselves
AjJi"ok, but what do you do after that ?"
Michael_LevinAjJi: Our products improve their quality because of that research. That's the aim.
AjJiah ok
AjJiso you have products ?
Michael_Levin"AjJi: Yeah, we have some :)"
udpnAjJi: http://ya.ru
AjJithx
Michael_Levin"AjJi: Yandex search, context and search ads, Maps, Traffic Jams, Yandex Mail and a lot of others"

Yandex_SergeiAjJi: http://www.yandex.com/
Butch123I checked out your web page through the link on topcoder ... trying to see the job descriptions ... but all russian ... are you only searching for people who speak russian?
Egoryan"Michael_Levin: can you recommend some useful resources matching the area of this research group? Articles, publications, etc"
udpnButch123: you can always check out google translate
Michael_Levin"Butch123: Mostly russian-speaking, yes"
Michael_Levin"Butch123: We can also take a few people to the Yandex Labs, they don't need to speak Russian, just English."
Yandex_SergeiEgoryan: You can find some materials he: http://company.yandex.ru/public/articles/
AjJiSharpC: ex-communist doesn't necessarily means non-english-speakers :)
EgoryanYandex_Sergei: thx. appreciate it
