The article also says engineering is moving overseas. The Uber Engineering era is over. Cutting deep vs pay cuts is moot, any talented engineer will be headed to greener pastures.

Totally, totally agree with this. I have a ton of respect for Dara Khosrowshahi, but if I were a good engineer, I would get out. The second the "we're going to move engineering overseas to save money" line comes out, the bean counters won. I'm not even going to argue one way or the other if this is good or bad for the company, but after having been through it before it is DEFINITELY bad for the engineering team. I wouldn't make it an emergency to get out in the current market but I would definitely leave as soon as I could.

If they can do it and succeed the Valley is in serious trouble and it's the same if they fail.
