What cafzali said. Packages generally go downhill as RIF rounds progress. Bail while the bailing's good and don't look back. Anyone who's eligible for this forum should have at least close to 30 years of working at something. If most of it has been in a particular career (out of the supposed 6 or so one is supposed to average over a lifetime), then you should take that accumulated knowledge and be a consultant. Depending on what your job is, you might even end up at your present employer as a consultant. If so, make sure your billing rate is appropriate.

One other consideration is outplacement services, if that kind of stuff is important to you. But, as you and others have mentioned, networking is key, so I'd definitely be talking to competitors and suppliers.
