1. Name and shame the firm here so we can avoid
2. Go on a spontaneous trip. Open up Google flights and see where you can go for, say, $500. Play around with 4-7 days shifting window in your 7 day period. You can go some surprising places if you’re flexible. Then choose somewhere you’d never have considered before, and enjoy what will certainly be a memorable and well deserved rest between jobs! Ten years from now, you won’t remember this week if you spent it sleeping at home or hanging out with friends in your city, but you’ll certainly remember it if you do this.

Exactly!
Although if you go int’l just be contentious about COVID restrictions these days. Had a friend do something a bit similar between jobs a month ago and she came back from and int’l trip a few days before her next job (fully remote) but ended up testing positive for COVID the day after she got back but not the day she flew. So it was a matter of hours that prevented her from having to explain to the new employer she wouldn’t be able to get back in the country to start her new job for a couple more weeks.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
