Anyone else looking for a new gig after the Snap cuts?
So, the latest round of layoffs hit Snap. If you were affected, or just feeling the general unease, what's your next move? I'm already updating my resume and dusting off my LinkedIn. The constant restructuring and cuts are making it hard to feel secure. I've been seeing a lot of posts about other tech companies hiring, but the market still feels pretty competitive. Any advice on navigating the job search right now, especially coming from a company that's had multiple rounds of layoffs? What skills are in demand? What companies are actually hiring and seem stable? Trying to network more but it's tough to know where to focus. Anyone have recent interview experiences they can share?
Snap Layoffs - Here we go again...
Just saw the news about Snap cutting another chunk of employees. Feels like this is becoming a quarterly event. Honestly, it's getting exhausting. I'm not even sure what the company's long-term strategy is anymore. They keep talking about 'innovation' and 'efficiency' but it always seems to translate to fewer people doing more work, or just people getting shown the door. Anyone else in a similar boat? Trying to stay positive but it's hard when you see these headlines constantly. What's the vibe on the ground there? Are people blindsided or was this expected? Curious to hear from those still there.
Navigating the post-layoff environment - how are you all coping?
Okay, so the layoffs hit my department hard last week. Lost a bunch of people I worked closely with for years. It's been a weird mix of relief that I wasn't directly impacted, but also this overwhelming survivor's guilt. Plus, the workload has instantly doubled. My manager is trying their best to redistribute tasks, but it's just not sustainable. How are others who went through this handling the increased pressure and the emotional toll? Are people actively looking, or trying to ride it out? Just looking for some solidarity or advice from people in the trenches.
Anyone else's projects suddenly on life support?
It's getting really quiet on my team. We used to be swamped with new feature requests and roadmap planning, but now it feels like everything is on pause. My manager is being super cagey about what's happening with our Q3/Q4 roadmap. I've been here 4 years, primarily on the core product side, and this is the first time I've seen this level of slowdown. Feels like we're waiting for the other shoe to drop. Anyone else experiencing this? Are your projects still moving forward, or is it the same 'wait and see' vibe? Seriously wondering if I should start dusting off the resume.
Interview tips - prepping just in case...
I've heard through the grapevine that some teams are quietly being told to 'trim the fat,' which, let's be honest, is corporate speak for layoffs. Just trying to be proactive here. Anyone have any recent interview experience they can share, particularly for engineering roles? Any specific technologies or frameworks that seem to be hot right now? Any tips on how to answer the 'why Snap?' question when...well, things might be rocky? And does anyone know recruiters who specifically work with ex-Snap employees if (god forbid) a layoff actually happens?
Hypothetical Severance Package - what's realistic?
Okay, so purely hypothetical situation here. Let's say Snap *did* decide to do another round of layoffs. What kind of severance package could we expect? I've heard different things from different companies. I've been with Snap for 2.5 years as a SWE. Is it usually based on tenure? Or is it the same for everyone regardless of how long they've been with the company? Trying to get a sense of what's considered 'standard' in the industry so I know what to potentially negotiate if it came down to it.
Anyone else feeling like they're constantly walking on eggshells?
Seriously, the vibes at Snap have been so weird lately. I'm in product, been here for almost 4 years, and I swear every meeting I'm in, I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Remember that 'restructuring' last year? Felt like they just moved people around and made everyone MORE stressed. Now with the stock price all over the place and hearing whispers about slowing growth... anyone else prepping their resume 'just in case'? I'm starting to think it's not a bad idea. Trying to stay positive but the higher-ups are acting SUS.
Just gonna say it: This whole situation is BS
Seriously, what the heck is going on? We're all working our butts off, pushing out features, and then there's this constant threat of layoffs hanging over our heads. My manager keeps telling us everything is fine, but how can we believe that when the stock price is tanking and there's constant uncertainty in the air? I bust my hump every day. I feel so undervalued and underappreciated. And the worst part is, we're all just sitting here waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's incredibly demoralizing. This place used to be fun and innovative. Now, it feels like a pressure cooker. I'm so burnt out.
Severance package - what to expect?
Hypothetically speaking, if Snap *were* to do another round of layoffs, what's the typical severance package like? I've heard rumors ranging from 2 weeks per year of service to something more generous. Does anyone have first-hand experience from previous layoffs? I'm trying to get a realistic picture, just in case. Trying to budget and figure out how long I could survive if the worst happens. Any insight is appreciated!
Anyone else feeling super uneasy right now?
I'm on the engineering team, been here almost 4 years. Maybe it's just me, but the vibes are totally off. My skip-level has been in back-to-back meetings all week, and there are whispers going around about 'restructuring'. I remember similar things happening before the last round of cuts (thankfully I survived). It's probably nothing, but I can't shake this feeling that something big is about to drop. Am I just being paranoid, or is anyone else experiencing this too? Trying not to freak out, but it's hard when your livelihood is on the line. Guess I'll just keep refreshing LinkedIn and hoping for the best/worst...
