Depending upon what the poster does for a job, this could be a very long time or it could be a very short time....I would suggest the OP stay put...a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush type stuff.

Definitely a valid argument.
Think about this, though. Let's say the job is something that involves contract work for others. As word starts spreading that the company is closing down in as little as 2 years, new clients start drying up. They don't want to sign on with a company that is struggling. Some existing clients pull out, as well. Before you know it, that 2 year estimate becomes 18 months or less than that.
I guess it depends on the nature of the job and the available job market in that field.
