WeWork - should I start looking?

Let me preface this by saying I have a really solid manager and VP and have an amazing relationship with both - seemingly a rarity at WeWork. I've also worked on some pretty cool things which are actually additive to the business. That said, the last 3 weeks have been ridiculously slow and I'm concerned there may be layoffs as the company as they scramble for funding. I'm also in a particularly volatile situation being on H1B. I've only been here 10 months. Should I start looking or wait until the axe (may) drop? TC 145k / L3

Think you answered your own question

What would you tell to a recruiter as to why you are looking?

I think the news headlines speak for themselves. You can say that real estate isn’t your passion or you want more stability or you don’t believe in the company’s vision anymore

Don’t wait being on H1B. Start interviewing so at least you have options.

Start interviewing and by that time you might hit the cliff of one year then. Take whatever you have and leave

I feel the same way 😓😓 Wondering if WeWork will provide a nice package for us

Loll, you are joking right. Employees are the ones getting screwed over the most here. At least most investors will get preference to recoup whatever “assets” the company has left.

I wouldn’t expect much of a package at all

Are you in Tech? How many years experience? Depends on how important your function is to the business.

3.5 years and non-technical (strategy)

There's never harm in interviewing and keeping those skills prime
