Would those 12 thousand people at Google have been better off if they hadn’t work there? Would you have not taken a job at Google if you knew that you would be laid off four years later or would you have saved aggressively and been preparing for your next role?
- tombert 3y agoFour years I would have taken it. Four months? Not so sure. My understanding is that a lot of people who were fired were only hired in 2021 and 2022, just to be let go in the tail end of 2022.
- scarface_74 3y agoIf i had to relocate, probably not. But in a normal tech hiring market, I’ve given up full time roles for a six month contract to perm role that paid slightly more. But built my resume. I would have definitely jumped at my current $BigTech remote role where I made over $150K more over two years than I was making at a 60 person startup I left even if I had known the job would have lasted two years. No I wasn’t laid off. This is purely hypothetical.
