It can take a couple of months to find a good fit. Once you have a verbal offer and are negotiating the package, if possible, ask for a start date which is after when you think the next round of RIFs will be.
This is the best strategy. It gives you the opportunity to negotiate a better package with a new company, maximises your chances of getting the severance package, secures your future employment and allows you to take extended time off. Start your new job refreshed, happy and with energy. The worst case scenario is that you have to quit a (day?, week?) before you start the new position, missing out on the severance package.
