Why do so many instantly go to the false dichotomy of "accept new job" vs "be unemployed".
The vast number of people changing jobs don't leave one before securing another.
And even if you're unemployed, it doesn't change the negotiating power, just the relative value of your personal choices. Ie job1 vs job2 or job1 vs unemployed.
To blame the lopsided value of the latter on negotiating power is to grossly misunderstand negotiating tactics.
