I’m an ex-Google engineer, and over the past few years I’ve seen more and more friends and coworkers go through layoffs. One thing that surprised me was how fragmented severance information still is. Most people end up searching through Blind threads, Reddit comments, spreadsheets, and hearsay just trying to figure out: * what’s considered a normal package * whether negotiation is possible * how equity/RSUs are handled * how severance differs across companies and levels So I started building ExitBase — an anonymous severance benchmark database inspired by compensation transparency tools like Levels.fyi. The goal is simple: help people walk into severance conversations with better information and less uncertainty. Would genuinely love feedback on: * what data would be most useful * how to improve trust/anonymity * whether this would’ve helped during your own layoff experience
