If you have another job waiting for you and you are dissatisfied with your current job, it is not necessarily stupid. There is no hard and fast rule for changing jobs in different states of the economy. It varies for each individual situation. You are going with probability. If is more probable that you should try and keep your current job, but your individual circumstances may dictate that it is time for you as an individual to leave. Consider all that may happen before you make a decision, but if it definitely seems like it is time to change, then do so.

To me, it's not a good idea! here in our country, unemployment rate rises drastically and we can't deny the fact that finding a good job is so hard. Nevertheless, in a situation like your current employer tends to declare 'bankruptcy' or 'business closure' due to inevitable economic down turn, I guess it'd be wiser to look for another "stable" company to work with. A family man (earning a minimum wage) would rather decide to stay with his current employer. If you are still single, perhaps you can still move to another companies for as long as you want despite of economic crisis. :)

Not unless you have secure job ready for you. I don't recommend believing vague promises and job offers who have too many "if:s" and "possibly" in them. My friend believed vague promises for better paid job... and soon she was like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s She got laid off for like 2 months after starting work in the new place ... @.@
