Based on that logic, no good APM would ever leave Google. Somewhat surprisingly (apparently?), some people don't think money is everything and look at other things too.
Here's a pitch for you:
You can stay at Google, be successful and make good money. But here at Yahoo we have this search engine. We want YOU to make it better and more profitable than Google is. Look - we'll pay you plenty of money to come, but I'm sure Google will offer you just as much ore more to stay. But if you succeed in this role - which everyone assumes we won't even attempt - then you will be a legend in Silicon Valley forever.
