So I am pretty good at my job.
I still can grow a lot, but I've built my career in-house, and have several short-lived positions on my resume due to balance sheet corrections, etc.

Just as I'm putting my life back together, I've gotten good at spotting warning signs. VP resigns without warning, no offer, and the org will not backfill. Budget just got cut to ribbons. Culture-wise, we lost our buffer, and I witnessed a grown man screaming at a subordinate.
Do I stay strong? Or plan my exit?

Start looking for an exit immediately imo

Yeah agree with the other responses, time to run

Plan you exit immediately, like it’s priority #1.

Reading the signs, and my instinct is to find the door.
But given that my history is riddled with short stay and layoffs despite being a high performer with solid recommendations... Is there a case for going down with the ship?

Start putting on your parachute. There's a good chance that what you've seen so far is just the beginning of a downward spiral. It's possible things may resolve and get better, but you'd be wise to get serious about finding a new position.

Relatively new position at a coveted firm as their Marketing and BD manager. Have suffered burnout and depressive episodes previously: can feel the symptoms raising it’s head.

Actively looking for a different position as I’ve come to discover this company exploits EME employees, but want to attempt to end on a “high note”.
