Isn’t max unemployment in California like $450/week? It’s not nothing but it’s not gonna help much if you’re used to spending like a big tech engineer.

Luckily I am about as frugal as they come (humble beginnings) - but also I'm in Australia and big tech here pays about as much as an average Sr salary in a non big-tech company in the states.

At my last job, I was on 220k/y USD TC as a Sr.

This role is 140k/y USD, which is close to the top end of non big tech salaries here.
