Had to look for a job during the peak of the FAANG layoffs. After failing to even get a first round interview from countless applications, I resorted to literal door knocking to find something. Took a 2/3s pay cut, barely able to cover my expenses. I was laid off from that job after a year with less than a week's notice and no serverance. I was classified 1099, so no unemployment benefits. It feels a little better now than it did a year ago.
