Fired from Shopify. Help me choose, Stack overflow vs Amazon vs Startup

I was fired yesterday because my project was shutdown. Current TC: 70k gbp Yoe : 4 Amazon : managed kafka team. London. 80k/23k/3.5k gbp Stack overflow : 85k/15k/0 gbp Start up(fintech) : 85k/-/10k gbp I am preferring Stack overflow as their role is promising and I guess they might survive recession. Please share if you know about their wlb. Amazon: I am hesitating because of their wlb. I am not preferring fintech startup. I was lucky enough to be fired with 4 month Severance and stocks with vesting cliff removed and few offers in hand. #amazon #stackoverflow #london #recession

You were not fired. You were laid off as part of a restructuring. Stackoverflow

Any Stack overflow employees here would like to explain more on culture and wlb?

Good for you for having jobs line up. Were you already interviewing? Or did you get offers through words of mouth?

Severence + salary, soon you'll be shitting 💰 🤑 💸

Amazon fffffffaa Jul 28, 2022

Don’t go to Amazon London. It’s filled with shitty SDMs and lots of office politics.

Oh. Thanks for alerting. I got response in another post that it is best 😁

Stackerflow seems to be good! Google seems to be in a hiring freeze. Not a lot of options at the moment I guess
