    As the OP I just wanted to pop a message in here thanking everyone. Its great to see so many people being so generous to help random strangers during a tough time. I'm a SWE and will be fine, but it was across the board and many roles won't be as lucky.

    The only other ask I have is if you're shopping for a mortgage, please find another company. I don't want to hurt the remaining employees there, but the CEO is the perfect stereotype of a toxic human being and leader and the only people that are going to get rich off of their IPO is him and Softbank. The type of person who would fire nearly 1000 people 3 weeks before the holidays, right after getting a $750m check deposited into the company, can't be allowed to continue to win.

    I hope a very large pigeon takes a very sloppy shit and it lands in Vishal Garg's open mouth and the thought stays with him for the rest of his days.

      I was in the middle of choosing between better and another offer. They went quiet on me in the middle of the week. Then my competing lender told me about this issue. So poor human communication and then seeing the video of the CEO talking about crying when letting people go. I was out.

    When I read stories about the CEO, I went with another lender. Can't support that kind of leadership.

      There's not a direct relationship between number of houses being sold and how much a company makes per loan close when they resell it. That profit number shrunk substantially through the course of the year. And Better rode high for a year on very profitable refinances and overhired.

      Also the CEO is a sociopath. But is that even atypical in tech?
