ERP consultant with 1.25 YOE and offer from B4. Smart to take now or bad time to move because of market?

I think this would be a great jump for me but I’m worried about the economy that there might be layoffs soon. Is this a smart move or should I stay put a little longer and try to move up here in case of a recession?

ERP work may slow down but there will always be work for it. Take it if it’s a big bump!

What business area?

Take it, if it’s a good bump and a better opportunity (better exits etc too if anything does go south)

Go for it.
Infor is a good company, but from a Consulting / Professional Services perspective you will learn much more in B4, however B4 is not as laid back as the consulting arm of a software company, B4 is higher paced and more performance driven, you can always go back…Infor has lots of boomerangs.

Make the move take the money, loyalty is overrated.
