Anyone heard of layoffs coming soon due to a predicted recession near EOY? I’ve just accepted a job with Meta and am curious what people have heard/ if it would be wise to stay in my current position (2 years established) to avoid a scenario where “last ones in are the first ones out” if this does happen.

Open to all insights and opinions

Well if you do get laid off, at least you'll have a hefty severance package and unemployment benefits so there's that to consider as well

It's Meta, so that's a pretty hard job to pass up, IMO. But I've been too nervous to make any sort of switch. Of course, I don't have an awesome offer in hand.

Then it was the word: “Snore”, which corresponded to “36425”. and then I had to figure out the number that corresponded to: “Rogue”. It just seemed too easy, why even have it besides creating another barrier to a possible offer? Should I tread carefully here?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.
