Would you switch jobs in this environment?

Money over stability?

Not I, but then I make a good living and have a very secure job.
All that aside, with the way the economy is going over the next 3-6 months there's no way I would swap a job which is guaranteed to make it through this crap for one that's only a maybe. For me, this environment is very much "a bird in the hand" period.

Nope not a chance.
Not to talk down to anybody on here, but I’m almost 50 and lived through 2008. It was brutal.
Not saying it will be that bad this time around, but it’s going to get bumpy. A lot of guys in their 30’s were still in high school then so they didn’t experience it.
I’d stay out for the next 12-18 months unless you can negotiate in some type of contract to cover your arse.

My industry is relatively stable but I think anyone would be cautious joining an unknown company right now. At the same time, I think it is still worth considering a move for the right opportunity.

How do they actually rank that now? I think they might consider laying off the higher paid and hiring someone less experienced for a lower rate which might be higher for the OP. With that being said If you are truly immune from being laid off I would stay put.

That COULD be a huge unforced error.
I personally aren't taking on any large debts, changing any process that isn't broke, we are going to be shifting travel budget to investment budget for great deals, but keeping things liquid.

Not if you have any type of tenure at your current job.

I just went through this. I’m in Construction on the client side and all my jobs here in Orlando will be project hire based. A competitor gave me a good offer. That company looks great on your resume. But the contract only lasted a year (bluesky) with the idea if it gets green lighted you get the big contract. My current contract last until 2025. Went to my boss to let him know and they instantly offered more.
It was an easy decision to stay. We are almost bought out, so now I transition to cost control that will get even more important. Trying to put a budget together with todays commodity prices and get approved during a recession? Not saying it won’t but not the safe move at all and I have 2 small kids still in daycare.

This is going to be completely dependent on the stability of each person's company and industry.
I have a lot of stability in my industry, but there is some concern with the company. But, I would stay because I have a 1 year severance package to protect me (owner/company is not going bankrupt) affording me the stability. If not for that severance, I would be looking around but also very selective in the company I moved to due to the unknown recession affect.

Stability right now with this administration.
Posted on 9/30/22 at 2:57 pm to Tshiz
What industry?
Posted on 9/30/22 at 9:13 pm to Tshiz
We’ve had to fill 17 open positions in 2022 so far (144 total employees, including admin). Mostly shift operators, anywhere from $120-$150k gross pay depending on experience and OT. 8% company match. $3-$5k annual bonus. Incredibly affordable and quality healthcare.
For whatever reason, these cats are still searching for greener pastures.

I’m seeing tons of former coworkers who took other jobs post on LinkedIn they are looking for a “new opportunity.” We have laid off a few people too though. My job seems super secure at the moment and while I’m not very happy at it, I’d be fearful to venture into unknown territory.
