I'm in the latter category also. Had a job off-shored at the end of 2019 and was out of work and thinking about retiring then. I didn't look too hard for another job but found one. I also didn't do much with my time off.
That's the RE part of FIRE. The FI part is nice though. I didn't stress out about looking for a job during a pandemic where companies suddenly shut down hiring. And I don't stress out about my job now. If there's any stress, I remind myself about FI. And if there's still stress after that, I'll just quit, it's Machu Picchu time.
