I'm really not familiar with quant jobs, but is the company itself in good shape? And was your job going well before your team got laid off? I"m kind of curious about the three week severance. I've heard rumors that those companies can have huge concerns about employees leaving jobs for competitors if their jobs involve proprietary IP. So they have really strong non-competes they enforce buy paying ex-employees for the length of the non-compete. But that probably isn't a huge concern if they decided to only give the team three weeks severance.
