I work at Big Tech Co, and I recently had my "role eliminated".<p>I was offered 90 days to find a new role within the company, and if I can't find one I get 6 months severance.<p>There have been multiple rounds of layoffs at my company, so it's unclear when they would stop doing them (if ever).<p>Unsure if I should spend the next 90 days doing interview prep and take the severance, or try to find an internal position and hope I don't get eliminated again (with a worse severance).<p>I think I might already have an internal position lined up FWIW, but for anyone else who has gone through layoffs:<p>Should I take the severance no matter what (i.e. it's only going to get worse here)?
Usually, this kind of company is just going worse and worse. The atmosphere will be shitty. And good luck getting a raise, a budget for something or have your laptop renewed.<p>It's usually better to go somewhere else and find a place where you will feel better and less insecurity.
