Ask why the layoffs.
Financial issues? Stay away
Restructuring? Do you believe in their plan
Cost-out without a good reason? See financial issues
Leadership change? Then sure, but do research on the new regime first
And ask yourself if you’d be able to influence or see rounds coming in the new role. Finance may have advantages here.
Lastly, always optimize for the adventure, not the stability. If you love the role go for it anyway
Appreciate the feedback!

Sure in some cases. You want to plan on being an exception? It’s easier to layoff people who don’t have strong ties to the company.
That's an interesting strategy, the employment version of catching a falling knife. I'm not even sure it would be feasible, companies doing layoffs generally aren't hiring. Assuming they do have openings, however, it's possible the layoffs would be about restructuring, so you'd be coming in as part of a new direction. In that case, sure, it might make sense.
