I accepted a freelance job after being out of work for 7 months, which begins next week. The rate is low for my years of experience and it’s for one month to start. I saw a similar freelance role that is long term and considerably more money, should I apply?
It would definitely burn bridges if I moved forward and was hired

DEFINITELY apply.

Agencies tell us “the job starts next week” all the time and then suddenly cancel saying “we found an internal team” (if they even tell us at all; usually they forget to tell you b/c they don’t care)

F ‘em. Accept every gig and work the one that actually materializes and/or pays more.

This is a dilemma for when both jobs want you. Don't take me wrong, I'm the same. But really, after 7 months out, you get 1 job and you think you're going to get every job? Apply, cross that bridge when you get to it.

Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
