You might be right; the person you're replying to might have zero idea.

Now me... I know someone personally who was a senior exec for Twitter's software team, who left after Elon's purge.

He left because all the people who understood the system and could predict the side effects were fired or left. He'd been with companies going through death spirals before, and had no interest in being involved with another one.

So, while the person you're replying to might not know, my friend DOES know.

This is still hearsay.

However, even with my limited experience in similar scenarios on smaller scale - it still feels accurate.

I don't know you or your friend, but thinking how dreadful some hiring process can be, I would defer changing my job as much as possible..

Hiring processes are a cakewalk compared to company in death spiral. Damn, even compared to a company with a bad period of high pressure.

It’s a mistake to stay.

Arguably, most of the ex-Twitter employees had zero say if they wanted to defer a job search or not.

They were just summarily fired.
