It's funny... all of these massive layoffs from tech companies that were rabid to interview me 12 months ago. And 6 months ago, even though I kept saying I wasn't looking.

Maybe that's the thing - as soon as a company becomes this intangible beast where you can't exactly say what it is they DO, I get nervous about the prospect of working there, not only for ethical reasons, but also because it's very easy to be spinning your wheels on not-critical-project-X and suddenly find your funding and job cut.

(I am not saying this because I feel superior - I don't. I'm saying in retrospect, that's part of why I made the choice and don't regret it for now. But of course, no one is safe.)
