Have a Lyft interview, is it even safe right now?

not sure why they’re hiring, can anyone recently accepted an offer or been hired since layoffs give insight? is their offer way lower than normal?

AAA gKRp62 May 27, 2020

What role is it ? Did you apply or recruiter reached out to you ?

DoorDash digdigdig OP May 27, 2020

SWE. applied before layoffs happened and got contacted last week by a recruiter

Dont man, doordash is doing better than lyft

DoorDash digdigdig OP May 27, 2020

Yeah but lyft TC is pretty hard to beat assuming I get the offer though

Yeah thats true. No harm in giving the interview. Anyways are you on a visa?

Uber offoffoff May 27, 2020

Same question here, I saw they post an opening after layoff. Considering a potential up role

Lyft skeeptic May 27, 2020

We're only hiring critical roles, and new hires <6 months were spared from layoff to the best of my knowledge That being said, things will be rocky for a while and you will definitely live with a lot of anxiety

Why hiring for critical roles instead can you guys not layoff people? Just curious how things work with the companies who laid off recently

Lyft 1👌1 May 28, 2020

It's just resource allocation. Trim fat on bloated teams and still hire where people need to be hired. At least that's how it's supposed to go.

Uber yxehomhvr May 27, 2020

If there's a second wave of COVID, ride sharing will tank again and there will be more layoffs. Super risky for now.

DoorDash digdigdig OP May 27, 2020

I guess it’ll be risky until there’s a vaccine

New hires are getting better deals right now due to a lower stock price. If you can handle a bit of uncertainty it can pay off big. Lyft is still a great place to work and things will get better.

DoorDash digdigdig OP May 27, 2020

That’s assuming we get a vaccine some time soon. Under normal circumstances it’d be great to work there

Lyft diwnsta May 27, 2020

I see more people going out, as things start opening up. But you’re right it will be a while before the world goes back to normal

Lyft tr74gy May 28, 2020

Doordash is now hot. With ipo down the line, you can get big. Lyft Business is down.

WeWork ttuwqa10 May 29, 2020

Their offers are okay now. L6 offer 600k TC.

DoorDash xztrv May 29, 2020

How’s we work doing rn when everyone is wfh? Were there more layoffs?

WeWork ttuwqa10 May 29, 2020

Yes

Lyft LoL1001 May 29, 2020

If not on visa, why not give it a try. If on visa, purely depends on your risk tolerance. There is not right/wrong answer here.
