Reply to comment by zoned_off in Coinbase to slash 20% of workforce in second major round of job cuts by ChocolateTsar

If your salary is all you care about - sure.

But now there's the added stress of being unemployed, as well that new $200k job maybe not being as good as the original $200k job you had before.

Some of us care about more than the dollar value on our paycheck.

We aren’t. We usually have some savings as well for those times.

I wouldn’t be so sure. High earners are concentrated in very expensive cities and may be saddled with lots of debt (student, mortgage, car, etc.) And unemployment insurance payments are capped.

Maybe in general, but I highly doubt it for a tech worker specifically, especially one that moved on from a $200k to a $300k job.
