Joining FB was considered risky: Exec on leaving after 10yrs
In a Facebook post announcing his departure, Facebook's VP for Communications and Public Policy Elliot Schrage said, "It's hard to remember that joining Facebook in 2008 was considered risky." Schrage added that mentors "counselled against abandoning the 'certainty' of Google's success for the Facebook 'fad'." He also thanked the social media major's CEO Mark Zuckerberg for the opportunity.
