Got a good offer from eBay a month back. Excited to join the team as it aligns well with the Kind of work I want to do. I also want to leave my current job asap. It’s all devops currently. However, I’m now worried about the layoff chances at eBay. Can anyone from eBay comment about the sentiment in the company? Previous TC 300K New TC 350K
OCI is better than eBay. People here spend more time on Politics than actual work. Wlb will vary from team to team. Stability wise - earnings were good. Holidays season is coming up and that’s where we make the most money. So, I guess we will just have to wait for the next earnings/guidance. This will be the crucial factor in the decision about layoffs. Right now there are budget constraints on team but no news of freeze or layoff. FWIW
Congratulations on offer. eBay at what level are you joining? Can you please share the split of TC?
YOE?

If you want to leave asap from current job then join eBay. No major issues. It looks safer at this point but same was the case for meta ,stripe etc 2 weeks ago. Market changing very fast. Wlb is great. Pay is lower than other companies but you got bump in TC. Congrats 👍🏻
EBay generally goes through reorgs and layoffs in Jan/Feb. I would be cautious to join before that. Given how newly hired got chopped off in layoffs in other companies, it’s better to stay put for a while.
Just seeing this and I have an offer at eBay as well and am planning to join in Jan. Do you expect impact in certain areas of the business or would layoffs be done more broadly?
OP whats the offer? Even I have mts1 offer.
All 8 yoe in US? After masters?
I think eBay is a lot safer than a lot of other tech companies - we do less bad in recessions than our competitors. What team are you joining? If you're joining a team like Search that generates the revenue for the company...you shouldn't be worried.

Tech companies to avoid as a white guy?
Completely forgotten about ebay. Well, like all previous downturns ; ebay will be as aggressive as AMZN, if not worst
