Ask HN: As a New Grad, should I be worried?
There’s been much talk about the upcoming recession, layoffs, and resigning offers. On Friday, I got a recruiter called about a New Grad in Software Engineering at a well-known company. They said they’re sending me an offer letter next week (I interviewed a couple of months ago but got rejected due to space capacity). I got all the comp details and start date. I’ll be making more than my entire current salary in a year. I’m terrified of the company deciding not to extend it due to current economic conditions or getting the offer and rescinding it like Coinbase. Am I sweating for nothing? If not, should I stay at my current job, float out of the recession, and try job hunting? I’m a bit of a nervous mess, honestly.
