Ask HN: What are signs of a startup failing?

Things I have seen that are usually indicators (although not always as it can vary from company to company).

* Hiring comes to a halt.

* Senior members begin quitting.

* Transparency becomes infrequent.

* Teams are being dismantled.

I should have started looking for jobs when my hours were cut from full time to part time at a startup I was at. I guess I was expecting a rebound to happen.

A few months later, I messaged the founder asking if he had an ETA for when the work hours would go back to normal. I got laid off after that.

Thanks, what if hiring changes direction..... hiring more finance/ business developers over engineers.
