No disadvantages. It’s exactly for this. Apply and don’t think twice.

Yes. You have been paying for this in every paycheck. Apply and just mention that you are expecting a start day. JUST make sure you don't claim for your starting week even if you start on the last day of the week

Unemployment itself doesn't have a disadvantage.

Only mistake some people get is they get nervous and desperate while unemployed and accept a new crappy job offer too quickly. So then if they have to quit or get fired, they lose the bigger unemployment that they previously had.

Unemployment is mostly based on the very last job you had. So if you had a good job for many years, you get many months of decent $. But then if you take a crappy offer and then get fired or laid off again after 3 months, you'll get very little.

Good luck finding what you want. This is exactly why companies pay state unemployment insurance.

It's your money. Apply for it and just set it aside. Worst case scenario, it's there. Best case, your savings gets a boost.

Layoffs are tough. Good luck! ❤️

Definitely apply and do it right away most states have a one week cooling off period where they won’t cut you w check. Do not, under any circumstances, take unemployment money while you are employed. That is fraud and can get you banned from unemployment for life. Also, don’t forget to report on your taxes.

Please ping me for an EY referral! Best of luck!!

I can help with a referral to Accenture, please DM!

Happy to help with an OW referral if you’d like!

Happy to help with Protiviti referral! Best of luck OP!!

Any googlers that can offer a perspective? Cleared all interviews for TPM. No HC review yet, as the recruiter says the new process is to find a match before HC.

I am told that there were internal candidates that fit the role better. The wait on since May, starting to lose hope now. Is team matching supposed to be this hard?
