Yep. During the tech boom of the last 15 years or so, I think a lot of tech people got used to leaving a job for whatever reason and having a new one lined up the next week. That is absolutely not the norm for professional jobs and is almost certainly not the norm for tech jobs today. I know people who were laid off during dot-bomb and never got another equivalent job again. I was extremely lucky in that regard in that I landed a good (better) if lower-paying job in about a month through my network.
