Last year, I negotiated Max offer at a FAANG, and ended up getting laid off in my first few weeks. I read a lot about new hires with high offers were layoff target. I just passed FAANG again and reached offer negotiations, and I can't help but feel paranoid that I'll end up in same place again. But on the otherhand, I was just unlucky once. I can't be so unlucky twice, right? Famous last words... Should I refrain from negotiating Max offer just to be safe? Or am I being irrational and too paranoid?

Higher than average in comp band is a target, then combining with less time at company is certainly an additional target on your back no matter what anyone says
This makes a lot of sense
just curious: what’s your steps on negotiating max
1) Have multiple offers. 2) Be prepared to walk off.
You can get laid off via team not only individually so I’d say go for max
