Was it truly a layoff or a termination? That’s an important clarification to this situation.

layoff. I wasnt on a pip or anything. I just a bad hand. Received severance. Had to work for 2 more weeks once I was told they were letting me go

I think it depends on how they treated you when you were laid off. If they handled it poorly (poor communication, lack of notice, unfair package etc.), I would stay away. They will do it again. Of course, if you are out of work - by all means take it for the paycheck and keep looking.

I was laid off with hundreds of others. Received severance. Had to work 2 more weeks. etc No bad blood on my end

This is quite a common move to get the salary bump or promotion you deserve, but I haven't tried it yet.

I’ve done this. Came back with $15K more the second time. Don’t regret it at all.
