For those who have forgotten or are miss informed if HCL lays you off within the first few years you are still entitled to your Xerox severance package. Now that is the Xerox package and not your core so it's not what you might think but in the end you might be employed for 9 to 12 months, have benefits where they transferred deductibles, make a stay bonus and make severance. And in my state, IL it's legal to take severance and unemployment.
I left because of my family, bc cobra would be crazy, and because a great opportunity came along. Apply for jobs and be picky. You have some time to.
