I’m probably going to be unemployed soon due to a new RTO policy. Commuting to the office by public transit is going to take me over 2 hours each way and cost around $50. Being the job market is the way it is rn I’m not sure what else I can do other that tough this out until things get better. Any advice?

I would start the job hunt while still employed and hope something works out soon. Use your network, turn on that you’re looking on LinkedIn, etc.
