Continue applying--the lead time to finding a new job is often months for people in similar positions/already laid off.
You might need 6 months or more to find a new gig, and the response rate for applying is very low across the board.
I'm in a similar position, and would love to take time off, but I'm actively launching resumes into the ether to see what happens in the interim.
Plenty of scams, and lots of "ghosting."
- chipsrafferty 1y agoIf OP is anything like me, they are barely getting enough work done to not get fired, and actively applying for jobs would push them over the edge into "almost certainly getting fired soon" territory
- nyarlathotep_ 1y agoBelieve me, I get it. I mean in the longer timeframe, when to "start searching." If the job ends today, start the horrible process of spraying resumes around the next day. Long lead times are very common now, apparently.

- octo888 1y agoMy boss isn't a monster, and quite intuitive. Despite being very annoyed with me, wanting to get rid of me, I think on some level she knows I'm struggling and has taken a lot off my plate. I'm still relatively productive in most tasks. But it's taking a toll for sure. But yes even the thought of doing an interview is invoking enough anxiety to make me sweat. I wouldn't even have the mental capacity to 'sell myself' to my mom right now. I would definitely have to reduce $JOB effort to interview
