It’s a generous severance but in this economy where most of big tech is actively downsizing, companies aren’t going public, cost of housing (or much of anything really) isn’t going down, and the only thing hiring are in-person 996 AI startups that don’t pay enough… It’s a bad time to be in tech.
It’s basically impossible to afford a normal middle class lifestyle (including owning a home, no super commutes, etc.) living in these tech centers (where the few jobs are) on single income.
