Half of them were already fired (more will probably follow), and the rest will be messed with for months (if not years) to come (as is evident by the email being discussed here). Having nothing to lose...

Competing with 11k people fired from Meta. FTFY

370k software engineer jobs listed on linkedin right now. So each person laid off from these companies gets to choose between 10 open roles at other companies. And that's just what's listed on linkedin; most jobs aren't.

There aren't 370k jobs paying FAANG or near-FAANG compensation and benefits. Probably about 10% of that is paying anywhere near what Twitter employees are used to getting.

I'm making close to the low end of an entry level software engineer at Twitter according to levels.fyi, and I'm making above average for senior software engineers in my region, based on recruiter/job posting salary ranges and posted salaries on these websites. Haven't gotten a regional recruiter offering anything competitive in the past year since I started this job.

Also the unlisted jobs paying anywhere near Twitter level compensation is probably close to 0%, so no need to add them to the mix.

... and everyone laid off from Meta this week ...
