Is it actually true that if there were big layoffs you would make it? Companies will often lay off an entire part of the business or more expensive employees though it’s also true that it’s common to let the most recent hires go first. Is your idea that your current company is less likely to lay anyone off or that the companies have similar futures but you think it would be safer for you to have more tenure? A few other ideas would be to: try to work out how much money you’d want to move. Can the other company pay you that much? Could you apply to some other company and get an offer for that much? If you take the new job and live like you’re on the previous pay, can you put the difference towards saving in case you get laid off. In general I guess most people are a little too risk averse. So maybe you should take the leap (or try applying for other jobs; I like the argument here: http://benkuhn.net/outliers/ http://benkuhn.net/outliers/ ) or maybe you should try to get into a position where you feel better able to take risks like this, e.g. by having more savings or something to fall back on.
