Post Body

Apologies if this has already been asked before. I’m an embedded software engineer with 3 YOE, about to join a big company in the Bay Area in June on an H1B visa. I’ve been on this sub for the past month and have been feeling anxious consistently (that one’s on me).

I want to make sure that I do everything in my power to minimize the probability of getting laid off, without getting bogged down in cynicism and paranoia. What advice would you give to someone about to join a company? What are the best practices? What are the warning signs?
