Look, I've been there and done that and let me tell you: You have got to look out for yourself. Loyalty does not meen diddly when you are out of work and missed a great opportunity.
If the company is on its last legs, your leaving will be a signal, might start the stampeed and you can save a few othres lives.
I've stayed around to the end, was the last person out the door turning off the lights, and know what it is like to miss out on something good due to misplaced loyality.
Run, Don't Walk.
