Got fired and about to decide

Affected last week at Cisco and fortunately I got an opportunity in another company for lesser offer happened fast because of an immediate opportunity by luck. Current CTC : 185K with 150K RSUs in Bayarea New CTC : 150K and 10K relocation expenses and no RSUs and I need to move to East Coast NJ or VA states Visa status : H1B visa Have time till June mid for my visa to be extended and my new company wants me to join As Early as possible . As of now I’m seeing that I’m not getting any calls also since 1 week of layoff. Do you think I should shut up and accept this offer and relocate or else still keep trying ?

Take it and keep looking. You will make significantly more if you land an equivalent opportunity as previous one after no downtime due to layoff. That said, try to not move

Current TC: 0, I’d take the offer.

Why is this even a decision? Don't you realize how lucky you are to get an offer in this economy? Plenty of unemployed citizens would take the offer in a heartbeat.

You gotta take it buddy. A lot of Americans have been laid off recently and are desperate.
