From what I've heard anecdotally (totally unconfirmed, grain of salt!), Stripe's been pretty generous historically, aiming for something like 3 months base pay + an extra week for every year of service. So, based on your 5 years, you might be looking at ~8 months' worth. Don't take that as gospel, though! Depends on a million things. Start building your emergency fund NOW, regardless. Best of luck!
Honestly, focusing on severance *before* layoffs are even announced feels premature. Keep your head down, focus on your work, and make yourself indispensable. All the severance talk in the world won't help if you're not performing. That said, it's always smart to network and quietly update your resume, just in case. Don't panic, just be prepared. Worrying excessively will kill your productivity.
