I know a campus hire at Meta who got their offer rescinded. It was a technical role

I’ve just accepted an industry role that I start soon… these posts make me worried ha…. It’ll be fine, right? Right?

I’m on a 13 week notice period! Accepted back at the start of March… just counting down the days.

A lot of startups have the exit strategy to either go public or get bought out. They have a limited period to reach the target and use multiple rounds of fundings. None of the exit strategy is lucrative or practical now with current market sentiments, the findings are drying up and revenues are not enough to keep them going with the high head count. So it’s obvious - trim the fat.

Hi all,

If people are getting fired from companies only.because they are on bench for more than 3 months, is it wise approach to switch with higher salary now?

Please list companies who are firing people or asking them to resign so that we get a fair idea of which company to join?
