Was in the same situation, but it turns out to be the best thing that happened. Was able to find a job at smaller startup that have less formal interview process and the business is booming now! My advice, try reach out to smaller companies, there are a lot more of them and easier to interview as well! Good luck, looking back this might be the best thing that happened!

A couple of questions:
- Did you have to take a pay cut?
- Are you remote?
- What industry?
