I survived the last few rounds of layoffs at Uber, including the most recent one. I view them as an opportunity to change teams or projects and advance upwards within the company.

Who was laid off today

Ok, so I have a couple of offers, one kind of lackluster, for the County. The other is for a credit union-I left credit unions a few years ago to join a FinTech supporting credit unions)
I was laid off last month and have had a flurry of interviews…this credit union offer is my favorite so far, I do have another offer I’m waiting for from another tech company which has a much higher salary range, but nothing is written in stone.
Should I counter? The offer is $95k for a project manager.

Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.
