I'd carefully explore Job#2 a bit more and see if you can buy just a little time before giving an answer. Be careful...you don't want to end up with nothing. Try to be as objective as you can re: job #1. Evaluate carefully and don't rock the boat with too many questions that might label you as not being loyal in your new position despite the fact you and only you know how you are trying to weigh one vs. the other. In regards to severance I've had the good fortune of having this as part of my job benefits on my last 3 positions. One was ok and better than nothing to start, one was much better, and now it is ok but still in today's economy is something I'm carefully working on making even stronger. If you have a special skill set and you think offer some unique talents you could always pose it as a question to Job #2 just to test the reaction....it is very good piece of mind with all the instability in the world as we now know it.
