Is it wise to wait for severance

or is it better to accept an average job that is offered to you now, given the risk and uncertainty of the economy's direction?

“Not at all. If you find a job even with a pay cut, get out. I did.

Do not give them power over you.”

Fully agree. Even better if you can find an unpaid internship. Bonus points.

I’d say no be here has a PhD in global economics. No one here in an anonymous forum can tell you what is best for your situation either anyway. Judge your situation for yourself and by all means don’t listen to recommendations from people posting here. (Including this post if you think I’m full of sh-t)

Yellen is as nuts as Betsy. We're in a deep recession already.

It's better to keep applying and interviewing until you find something good.

Interview with anybody b/c it'll sharpen your interview skills for the better companies.

The merger won't go thru until likely after April so you have plenty of time to casually interview.

And we're still NOT in a recession as defined by Janet Yellen's assertion of the tight labor market.
