Would you accept an offer 50k more than what you’re currently making from a place that seems unstable and does layoffs every few months? 👀

Are you currently in a good place for growth and opportunities? What is the difference in the new place and what will you be working on?

The instability is definitely a red flag. Making more money is really nice, but you don’t want to all of a sudden be making no money.

If it seems like they have plans for you and you’re confident you can produce better work there, it’s hard to say no to another $50K/year.

Ask if they can put a guaranteed severance amount/length in your contract, should business needs change and layoffs happen within, say, the first 12 months of your employment.

Is it remote?

I did this, but didn't realize the place was as insane and unstable as they turned out to be. the place i was before I had outgrown, so I'm still glad I made the move. I think it comes down to comparing where you are to this new place, considering the money, work, people, and other considerations of importance to you. You could also use the offer to counter, then just go wherever the money takes you...

No.
