Would this be a bad time to be in a job hunt to change companies? Anticipating that there may be a cohort of newly laid off SWEs from prestigious brand-name companies (Uber, Lyft, potentially others) flooding the market?

I'm guessing I, as a lowly, humble, SWE from an investment bank, would be easily looked over in favor of those aforementioned veterans/alumni of highly regarded Silicon Valley companies. Unless if I make a lateral jump to another bank or hedge fund, which I have no desire to do so.

I’m in a similar situation and am still getting messages from FAANG recruiters. I think you would be fine.
