A big lesson I learned from people here that survived the dotcom bust: you don’t want to be the last person laid off at any company. Don’t feel great if the lower performers are out the door first while the economy starts the circle the drain. The reason is because there are companies that are still hiring and that will make it, but they’ll soak up their fill from all of the early lay-off talent and there will be very little left for you when you’re the last person to turn off the lights. I guess the moral of the story is to keep your resume fresh, and if a good opportunity comes by during this time it might not hurt to consider it.
