This is exactly why I decided to resign from my last job instead of looking for work while in it (in addition to the crippling stress that caused me to look in the first place). There simply isn't enough time to find the right fit if you don't really quite know what you're looking for - even being remote on a very open schedule the time it took to take recruiting calls, do resume and code test work was very high. Granted, I already had an offer outstanding when I decided to do that, so I was reasonably sure I would be able to bridge the gap to my next job using savings I had accrued. Now I've found an interesting job paying MUCH better than I was expecting which will in the near term greatly overmatch the investment of some of my savings in the time to look.
