The startup I was at had a ~10% layoff mid last September that I and several other senior (i.e. expensive) folks were caught in. I started a new, equivalent job in mid-November. It probably would've been quicker but my family and I have some somewhat edge case circumstances in play at the moment that mean I needed a job that'd let me be remote outside of the US. Some of that time too was choosing between two pretty compelling offers, so. My deepest sympathies to anyone else facing this process right now. Even in a reasonably healthy (if not wildly overheated) hiring market, facing a layoff sucks. Best wishes to everyone out there.
