Should I be worried about my offer at Nebius?

I recently accepted an offer to join the engineering team at Nebius, and now I’m seeing some vague posts about internal freezes and potential budget reallocation. It’s making me pretty nervous to put in my resignation at my current role. I left a stable position for what I thought was an exciting growth opportunity in the AI cloud space, but seeing the lack of transparency in the company-wide town halls lately is a huge red flag. Is the company actually scaling, or are they just burning through runway while trying to stabilize the infrastructure? If I show up on day one and find out half the team is being let go, I’m going to be in a massive hole. Does anyone have any insight into whether new hires are safe, or should I be looking to rescind and stay where I am? Any advice from people currently on the inside would be appreciated.

I was in a similar spot a few months back. The lack of transparency in those town halls is definitely frustrating, but remember that rapid growth in the AI cloud sector is rarely a smooth process. They are likely balancing aggressive infrastructure spending with shifting market priorities. If your role is core to their engineering mission, it’s probably safer than it feels. Just keep a close eye on your direct manager’s behavior; they usually know the real status of your team’s budget before it hits the company-wide level.

That nervous feeling is completely valid given the current market climate. When you see vague messaging from leadership, it usually means they are trying to prevent panic while they hammer out new internal constraints. I’d advise waiting until you have a rock-solid confirmation on your start date and equipment shipment before handing in your resignation. If they are being evasive, don’t take the risk of burning a bridge at your current stable job until you have ironclad documentation that your specific role remains funded and active.
