How can I take the most advantage from the outplacement services vendor? FYI - this was offered as part of the lay-off package.

They helped me completely redo my cv and really taught me how to update it. How to make the most out of Linkedin, they helped me practice for interviews, really helped me create my “presentation speech”, how to answer interview questions, etc. if you have that benefit you can really take advantage of that. I had a friend who after being laid off wanted to start their own business and they helped him as well. It depends of the service, but they can really help you guide your job search.

Have they told you what services they offer?

They sent an email asking if I had any questions but I can check on website that they help with resume and job search.

Received an offer from a top FAANG for a 250% increase in TC. However, I was initially interviewing for a position that was remote and yet the final offer does not provide that option, non-negotiable. I have a wife and 2-year-old child and another one due in 7 months, and currently live near both sets of grandparents.

Is working at a top FAANG really worth that kind of cost? I'm leaning heavily 'no' but it's not making it easy to sleep at night knowing I'm sitting on this kind of offer!
