Additional Background:
I've been part of the Tech layoffs of Jan 2023, after working almost a year at my first job out of college. I wanted to review my plan, to make sure I'm moving forward in the best way possible.
1. I'll get salary until late March, at which point I'll reach my employment end date.
2. I'll get ~4 weeks of severance at my employment end date.
3. I'll get $1200 total towards Cobra, but I will go back on my parents insurance instead, and save the $$.
4. I have about ~5000 dollars worth of vacation days that will be paid out to me upon termination of employment
5. I'll apply for unemployment insurance at my employment end date. Using the calculator on the california state site, it said I'm projected to get $450 per week for up to 6 months.
6. My first year's RSU will vest before my employment end date.
Emergency Fund: have just over 3 months of emergency funds, for my decreased expenditure budget. When I calculate the items 1-6 from above, it will buy me another 10 months of runway while I search for my 2nd job. So I'm projecting to have 13 months of runway, without touching any of my portfolio.
Questions:
1.Any suggestions given my portfolio above, and my newly laid off state?
2.Job search starts after I decompress for a week. (Please let me know if you are looking for a front-end or full-stack developer working in the Bay Area.)
