Was out for 8 months. I ended up cutting rent and traveling abroad for the bulk of it so that I only had to pay for storage and cheaper Airbnbs abroad.
Was a great experience and I had a great network of friends keep me emotionally and tactically in the game, but I agree, not seeing that paycheck come in every month kept me up at night constantly.
Yea only thing I’ll caution is being too far from US time zones makes planning interviews tricky. My time in China was especially difficult as some startups would reschedule on a dime and I’d end up taking an interview at 2 am.
Western Europe or South America were far more manageable.
Struggling… don’t know what to do…

It's been hard. It's been 6 months for me now. How long has been your journey?
It has been so hard.
Just been 2 weeks but it is not looking good ..the recruitment process seems like a Black Hole
I'm very very glad that my nature is to naturally be an absolute cheap ass throughout my career, so i have a lot saved up, and also glad to have been a DINK with my partner when I was working, so during unemployment, I'm experimenting with getting a stay-at-home husband.
