> There were people in the office taking decent salary, doing barely anything with kind of no expectations of their performance whatsoever. Some were doing their masters, some hit the gym very hard, some were just chilling out.

I am pretty sure I am this person right now. Got the job but mostly not qualified for it, though I'll concede it's a niche field and they probably have to train people regardless. But it feels square-peg round-hole.

What do?

Work on side projects to keep your skills sharp so you're ready to apply for new jobs once the inevitable happens.

Always keep your CV up to date (its soo hard to write a CV the day after you get fired), browse the job ads and watch for the buzz words and keep the skills in those words fresh and go to the gym.
