Unless they started in the last 3-4months it definitely makes sense to take this offer.

SW salaries have blown up this year and the last couple. Checking levels.fyi a lot of companies are increasing pay month over month. Plus stock packages based on tailing 30day ma means in a couple year those package could be real lucrative.

Plus you get 4 months of paid vacation to chill and toolup for the interview gauntlet.

It’s a no brainer. Always take the cash. The next round of layoffs might not be so generous.
