"She could have run off and been a startup founder and "CEO," but what kind of power is that, really? Running around Silicon Valley begging VCs for a handout; pitching weary journalists on another software product; building everything from the ground up and never knowing if people will actually use it. That’s not power, folks; that’s just working like a dog, and it’s a gamble at best, no matter who’s doing it."
Why would she have to beg for VC? She has $300 million. That's just working like a dog? The author just described that Mayer already does that. It's a gamble at best? We're talking about Yahoo here.
Mayer would NEVER have to beg for VC under any circumstances first of all. And second, you can easily swap out dealing with VC's for some things that can be worse: dealing with analysts 24/7, activist investors, board members, shareholders in general, public company regulations, and on and on.
