Do women prefer coffee dates since they can bail if they don't like the guy OR does it make them think the guy is cheap?

What can you buy with 5M
In terms of layoffs, future stability, growth, general company culture, and wlb. Would really appreciate it if someone working there shares their honest opinions. TC - 230k #tech #roblox
What is safe? Even in the best of times no company is safe.
Agreed, just wanted to see if there's any increased chatter about layoffs internally.
There is definitely increased chatter around layoffs. The company has too many leaders, directors, sr managers, etc having less than 10 direct+indirect people reporting to them. They will probably do some shedding given the stock is continuing to fall. Also, at least in my spouse’s team the outlook is a bit negative. Not sure about the larger organization.

Thank you for answering, appreciate it! Which org does your spouse work in?

Are they currently profitable as a business? Last I checked they were still bleeding cash. Pair that with high salaries and bloated management. I think you already know the answer.
No layoffs currently planned, but HC is flat across most of the company. If Q2 earnings/guidance are bad then it could happen.
Thanks for answering! Do you know which orgs are at high risk for layoffs? Or is it all of them in general
I think Economy is where most/all hiring is at the moment. So maybe all other groups are equally at risk? But hard to say.
Not safe at all
Heard all open positions are being pulled
Not safe... Nowhere to open market in other countries, already maximized growth in US, shitty products that steal kids money. Constantly firings, reorgs. Layoff on the way.
Do you have an offer from them? IMO, no company is safe unless their stock price is skyrocketing like nvidia
Yes, I am expecting an offer from them for a DS role. Also, fair point, which is why I'm leaning towards switching since job security in general is very low right now. Might as well switch for the money.
Our DSA leadership is very strong. A++ would highly recommend. Congrats on the offer.
