Layoffs happen all of the time @AIG When I started (10+years ago) there were layoffs. Layoffs happened every year. I was laid off last year along with many others who were great performers...it happens and will continue to happen. If you feel that the AIG opportunity is a good one, I don't see any reason not to take it. If it doesn’t work for you, there is no reason why you can't leave. My advice if you take the job: I wouldn't view this as a 'long term' position at this time. Treat it almost like a consulting position (with much better benefits). Get all that you can from the job (besides just a paycheck). This can be a chance to gain valuable experience. With the way things are looking, there is a possibility that things will be get better or worse. Keep your resume and linkedIn profile up to date, casually keep an eye out for other positions and keep in touch with a handful of good recruiters. If something else good comes up, but you are not ready to leave AIG, why not refer another friend/colleague…if they get the job, you will may have an ‘in’ at that other company should you need it. Lastly (and this goes for any ‘Job’) don’t feel as though you are ‘s---’ at one place. Always remember that the only thing guaranteed is change. Any place you go can and will let you go if they feel the need and will find a way to justify it...remember this works both ways.
