FYI: If I were to pick two years in the past 30 in which it would be good to have a stable, secure, under-paying job that's likely to be spared a layoff, those years would be 2008 and 2016.

For purposes of resume-padding you can always ask for a title change at no additional salary. It demonstrates initiative, illustrates your drive and keeps focus on you at no impact to the balance sheet. And should the finance industry come crashing down (again) you've at least distinguished yourself a little compared to everyone else on the bread line.

Also, if one were saving for a downpayment, an additional year or so of savings might reap substantial benefits in a down market.

Just sayin'.
