So our CEO is about to get a golden parachute to GTFO apparently and there’s talk that there are going to be even more layoffs. Should I peace out before more layoffs? I assume I’d get severance, but this is my first job out of college, so I could be wrong. Also, with Verizon now slamming together Yahoo and Oath into the rest of the company, I don’t know if it would be worth it to stay even if I wasn’t a layoff casualty. What should I do?

There's plenty of resources out there that show that you "hold more power" when you have multiple job offers. It's much harder to do that while you're employed full time. The biggest jumps in TC come from competing offers, not you just having a job.

Best is to have a job offer and negotiate later start date - use the severance to travel, relax and recharge, come to the new job and kick ass
You are a college recruit so your severance won’t be big enough to cover a struggle to find a job.
