6 month emergency fund so we can maintain or just slightly decrease our lifestyle while searching for work.

6 months might not be long enough to find the perfect job but I think it’s long enough to find a decent one to hold me over for a year or however long the recession would last (working in cloud). I have heard 9-12 months as well but it depends on your risk tolerance.

We have a years worth in cash (saving for a house)and have plenty of stock we could begin to liquidate if needed. Would reduce our spending habits dramatically and consider leaving NYC for the short term (I can work remote) for lower cost of living if needed.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

I work on a consulting team at a large software company. I’m a job hopper, around 2 years each at my first and second jobs and a little over a year at this job. I recently found out they’re shutting my team down. We’re not fired, but they’re transferring us to the core implementation team, which has a horrible reputation for malignancy, overworking, and isn’t at all what I was hired to do. How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?
