The point is not to chill and just burn through the savings and not work. How would having that much money saved, change the way you look for jobs?

      How much 10k is to you is relevant to the question. For some of us that’s a month, for some that’s six months. It makes a difference to how you respond.

      If I had 10k and no job, I’d be panicking and rushing to get whatever job I can get!

          Three types of comments here: You take your time looking for a good job, You rush to get another job, You ignore the spirit of the question and whine about a technicality

        Me, me, me haha. If you have the money to live nicely for awhile, spend time finding out what jobs youre really passionate about and go for those. Even if your under qualified it cant hurt to apply. Sometimes they can offer entry jobs to get were you want to be. If you already know what you want to do, spend some time updating/improving your resume and see if you can get a a few companies to fight over you. There’s a lot of power being able to walk away from the negotiation table if you’re qualified and its just not the right time.

          Totally fucking agree and thank you for being so level headed. It’s true, when you have the time and a savings (USE A DAM NUMBER THAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY ACCORDING TO YOUR SITUATION THAT WOULD HELP YOU WHILE UNEMPLOYED FUCK)

          You do have the flexibility financially and for the betterment of your career, to walk away from jobs that are toxic, low paying and have no career growth.

          You’re not rushed to just take anything keeping you in a vicious cycle.

          I wish that everyone could have that. :( I hate how things are
