Re:Ask HN: Does employment feel safer at smaller companies? by pestatije on Friday January 12, 2024 @04:15PM (#38974183)
no, what happens with small companies is they go bust without notice, or their showing signs theyll go bust, or the owners signal it might go bust for whatever reason...so no, it never feels safe working in a small company

Thanks. I just wonder what the answer is, security-wise. I guess if you can find something self-sustaining where there isn’t a huge need to grow. That was behind my original question, a feeling that a need for profit growth drives these decisions for larger (public, or on their way there) companies. But I guess if a smaller company is not yet profitable, it’s also bearing some risk to get somewhere that it might not.
