To resign or not to resign

With majority of my staff resigning and on a venture to finding a new career path and/or better company; with me finding out that the highest position I can ever attain in my company is my current job; and that our CEO’s ultimate goal is to sell this company preferably next year… My considering other options is already a given of course.

I was thinking of actually resigning straight out. But then again, that would be suicidal since I still have bills to pay monthly and I don’t want to end up with a social security disability. I do know that with my job profile I can get a job soon though, or even during the 30-day notice period I need to render for my company. But that’s impractical as well since my negotiating power with my next company will be lower because I’d be almost, if not, unemployed by that time.

During this dilemma phase, Slide, my colleague whose advice I highly value, did not disappoint me. He said something that made sense in my jumbled thoughts, “Save enough money so you can survive a quarter without work. That will put you in a different perspective.” He added, “That way, you won’t have to worry much about anything, so you can concentrate on job hunting or your website.”

Wisely stated isn’t it? ^_^
