The problem is you never know how long it will be until the next job offer. Personally I'd rather be employed. Period. Having a big gap on a resume is not good... not good at all. Best of luck in your job search. :\ @Roger: I suppose there are certain situations where holding out makes sense… it’s all in the math.

Although, being unemployed myself, I have a hard time imagining anyone being so stuck on making their same salary that they'd give up a job that only requires a 10% decrease in pay. I'm at the point where I'd take about half of my previous income (just enough to make work more worthwhile than continuing to receive unemployment).

They can be denied or refuted... essentially slowing down the process. I wouldn't count on it -- I'd rather see unemployment income as a nice little bonus that ends up stretching my emergency fund out, rather than absolutely counting on it and then being surprised by not getting it. @MLR and @MK: I didn’t factor them in because you shouldn’t count on them.

So it is best not to depend on something you may not even receive! (of all the people I know that have been let go, only one has been denied the benefits) A lot of people seem to always say that unemployment should be factored into any time that one goes in between jobs, but the fact of the matter is, your previous employer can deny unemployment benefits.

That should help alleviate some of the damages caused by rejecting a job offer. That, of course, is dependent on state... so your results may vary! You didn’t seem to factor in unemployment benefits.
