| I've been in a similar situation. The key is picking the right time to leave. You can usually smell one of these things coming; you want to leave before the pack, but stick around long enough to make your plans while you're still employed.
When you KNOW your job is probably not going to be there in a year, you can usually tell - and you need to make a 90 day plan to get out.
Companies rarely let bad news go for two quarters. If things are bad at the end of one quarter - you want to be ready to leave right around the next time they report. If it's good, maybe you can delay another 90, but if not, you can jump.
This has worked twice for me; once during the dot com boom and once after. I leapt within 2 months of layoffs, and avoided any real pain on my part. |
