Would you walk from your role for a year's salary settlement deal?

Workplace relations have broken down, and my employer has opened up the conversation regarding a settlement agreement, with pay out and reference. I'm early 50s, been there almost two decades.

Would you take the money and run? I have a niche role, but there are other roles out there and consultancy opportunities. But as a single person with a mortgage, it is a risk!

Agreement is with the solicitors, feeling scared. Didn't get a role I was hoping for, pipped at the post by internal applicant, but hopefully being short listed for another role next week. I am bricking it, but I know staying isn't an option and this is a great opportunity if I'm brave enough to embrace it.

Is consultancy work an option?

I was offered redundancy at 59 with six months' salary - I couldn't get out quick enough and have no regrets. Single btw and renting.
