Me, me, me haha. If you have the money to live nicely for awhile, spend time finding out what jobs youre really passionate about and go for those. Even if your under qualified it cant hurt to apply. Sometimes they can offer entry jobs to get were you want to be. If you already know what you want to do, spend some time updating/improving your resume and see if you can get a a few companies to fight over you. There's a lot of power being able to walk away from the negotiation table if you're qualified and its just not the right time.
Totally fucking agree and thank you for being so level headed. It's true, when you have the time and a savings (USE A DAM NUMBER THAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY ACCORDING TO YOUR SITUATION THAT WOULD HELP YOU WHILE UNEMPLOYED FUCK)
You do have the flexibility financially and for the betterment of your career, to walk away from jobs that are toxic, low paying and have no career growth.
You're not rushed to just take anything keeping you in a vicious cycle.
I wish that everyone could have that. :( I hate how things are
