Layoffs are pretty common across the entire Tech industry. I was at a company with 1000 people and they had several rounds of layoffs in 2023/2024. A larger company likely is as stable as it gets right now, and you have to understand that when a company like Microsoft lays off 3000 people, that is a small percentage of their workforce.
You also have to know that the old saying, "last in, first out," just isn't true for Tech. Most companies use layoffs to get rid of a lot of higher paid legacy staff, and so newer staff are usually impacted less.

If you can budget and acknowledge that it may all come to an end then go for it. Just dont go in thinking you'll work there for 20 years and end up jobless with no nest egg or backup plan

Smart idea. That pretty much means negotiating for a higher end salary to hedge some of that anxiety
Pro
That’s helpful insight about layoffs and percentage of staff impacted. I think sometimes I can be a victim of headlines sensationalizing each layoff announcement

I'd look into trends around where the turnover is. I wouldn't waste my time hiring into a role they fully intend to fire in 18 months.
