Been with my current employer for 10 years. Secure position, secure company. Want to move out of state, so starting over at a new company and that brings uncertainty. Has anyone been able to negotiate a severance package upfront as part of the package? I do not want to find myself in a dire position if the worst case was to happen where I fired from the new job. I know…long shot worst case but current position and company has security.

Love that you are preparing to take the leap that will serve your desires! Severance while quitting is a pretty unlikely uphill battle to win. You’d be better off getting a sign on bonus at the new spot, maybe relocation assistance. And given your very stable background of 10 years at the same place, the reasonable fear of things not working out is probably less of a risk than you’re giving it credit for. That is all to say, plan prepare and then jump! You got this!

Thank you for the comment.
I was looking at this from the perspective of “sorry, this is not working out, you are fired.” I’m giving up a really stable work situation and looking to move on, so a negotiated severance package would be a safety net.

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

The recruiter told me they are targeting low 90s when we first started talking, fyi. I also heard this company doesn't do signing bonuses so we will see about that.
