I'm 2 months in, and this thread scares and comforts me...

I was laid off at a small tech company mid July and found another job with a friend at another small company in mid September. I thought maybe I wouldn’t find another job for a while, but it took me about 2 months with a very significant (40%) pay cut. I like the company pretty well, but I’m still hoping for something more. We’ll see.

took me 10 months and I'm a run of the mill guy. Just make sure to apply a lot, I think too many people look for well fitting jobs but my idea is the first one that gives any offer is usually good enough

		Having watched colleagues land jobs where they had almost no experience in (what were apparently) key areas of the job description. I would advise to apply to anything that looks interesting to you, and fluff your CV. The job descriptions are fluffed to death so no harm.
