Should we be particularly worried about layoffs while job hunting? I figure that if they're hiring, they probably aren't struggling. But I'm also concerned about being the last one in and the first one out.

Hiring is typically a lagging indicator of strength/struggle in a company. Don’t let the worry bog you down but don’t think that an open position means job security for the winning candidate either. Good luck!!!

Ask about the exact scope of work to determine - if HM is wishy washy about role and objective, don’t take it as it’s likely HM over promised on something to their higher up; if HM has clear operational needs from day to day and you have solid responsibilities then it’s good to go 👍

All good companies have a growth strategy, and many still need to hire in the areas their growth strategy depends on. When you’re interviewing, do what you can to suss out whether the group or division the role is in is part of that company’s growth strategy, because if it is, you can assume you’d be safe even if that company does layoffs.
