It’s really a once a quarter exercise. - update career document - update resume - reach out to my network on LinkedIn and schedule a lunch with former coworkers - sleep well at night. I’ve been through a layoff, I’ve had to jump ship quickly (a company was acquired by private equity), and I had a sudden 10% paycut (2020). Guess how little I stressed? Interview ready doesn’t mean “practice grinding leetCode”. It means always be in a position when opportunity knocks (or you need to find a door to knock on), you’re ready.
