Is it better to stay with Dell/EMC because I may get a fat severance package or accept 220k offer from competition (40k raise with 35k in base pay). I am 50 plus and long time EMC employee.
If Dell bonus is not 100% funded raise could be actually more significant.
A more accurate statement would be:
Run! - Unless this is HPE, NetApp or Pure.
Take the job if it's even real - lol
Go with the competitor! Especially over 50. I too was with Dell for 16 years. Part of workforce reduction in Jan this year after merger. My entire team! Majority of us over 50.
Jump ship now!!
I personally would take the other job in a heartbeat but that's just me. You gotta do what you gotta do for you!!
Take the job
50 plus will be targeted for layoff for sure. Remember the Nazi gas chambersm The old and infirm first.
Wow lucky you. You must be privileged to get such hikes in these market conditions. Run Forest run.
Run! - Unless this is HP, NetApp or Pure. Networked storage is sun-setting. And Dell will be on a strong diet for the next few years in order to serve the debt. So good luck.
