I don't think this is categorically true... you think _all_ the companies that have recently announced layoffs are basically sinking ships?

- pjc50 4y agoBut it does mean your options for promotion and salary increase are clearly limited. And in tech there's strong evidence that more career development happens when you move companies than within a company. You may find there's nowhere better to go, but switching to "looking externally" rather than "looking internally" for new jobs is definitely a good idea.
- alecbz 4y ago> You may find there's nowhere better to go Yeah that's kinda the rub right now though. Everyone's frozen, tons are laying off. If the only information you have is "my company did a layoff", it's not clear you're better off looking externally vs. internally vs. staying on your current team. One bad case is you leave your company that just did a layoff for one that has yet to do one (but will need to soon).
