Jan is going to be a bloodbath it looks like
Wait for the rest of the year, and likely 2024. According to the Fed unemployment even went down so they are free to be even more aggressive than they used to.

What were the layoffs based on? Performance?
VHP - Verily Health Platforms
is that a specific org in verily?
Yes
do people still feel non bets google is safe?
Do I enjoy working at Verily as a SWE? Yes, I like the mission, the people (rip 15% of them though:/) and am contently compensated for my time for now. Do I trust Verily to not do this again? Nah, but I don't trust any any potential employer besides myself. In general, I'd like to think I'm becoming a more competent engineer during my time here - If I got the boot (and the severance package) that some of my peers received, I feel well equipped to find a role soon enough. At the end of the day, only time will tell if I'm a complete idiot for having this take :shrug: TC 210k YOE 3ish
