The market is in turmoil, and the chip industry is not immune. Recently, news broke that Qualcomm is about to lay off employees, triggering headhunting competition for Qualcomm chip talents. Many headhunting companies have begun to extend an olive branch to Qualcomm chip engineers, and the "hunting for Qualcomm" has begun.

A friend who once worked at Qualcomm told me that he has recently received a lot of calls from headhunters, including companies such as Xiaopeng. Since he had worked at Qualcomm, headhunters were looking for his work experience and Qualcomm's brand value.

During this time of change in the industry, many people are feeling stressed out. Some people may choose to find their next home in advance to be safe, but in fact, it may be wiser to stay calm at this time. After all, if a company offered to pay you the equivalent of compensation, would you be willing to jump ship?

If it were me, I would choose to wait and get compensation. Because I think that taking a sum of money first is equivalent to owing the company a favor. If the company is willing to pay this money, it must also hope that I can create higher value. This is equivalent to an advance on the future. The compensation is deserved, and there is no psychological debt. There is no psychological pressure when joining a new company.

Of course, everyone's situation is different. For those with little experience, it is relatively difficult to find a new job due to less compensation, so it is understandable that they find their next job in advance. But for experienced people, it’s wiser to wait.
