If a recession is coming, should I accept an offer from a larger company for a similar role or stay with my current team for better professional development access?

Basically what the title says. If I’ve been with a company for x years, and as a result, have x years of goodwill banked and am eligible for x years of severance, is it better to just stay put? Or do I gamble with a larger company that just maybe is better capitalized? The US economy is likely gonna be shambolic for the next year, and biotech is basically in nuclear winter. This is my first recession in the workforce, idk how job hopping pans out. I’d appreciate any experience you guys have.

I’m in a similar dilemma. My thought process is if they already haven’t withdrawn the offer and are still interested, then they clearly need you. The layoff risk should be low.

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job
