No plan. But I'm financially secure enough that I don't need a plan. I think it's important to find a "sweet spot" where you have good pay with low cost of living. Low cost of living let's you weather the bad times. Although with some FAANG compensation you breach a point where you're better off even in high cost of living areas. So this advice does not apply to everyone. Last time my job evaporated I looked on job boards. It worked for me. I'm not a super social person so my "network" is a bit smallish. I have good relationships with my former bosses though. If job boards were failing me I'd call up my old bosses and see what they're doing. If that failed to produce employment, then I'd lower my salary expectations.
