Seems there's a few people who are or will imminently be unemployed this year. I'm currently serving my notice period due to an RTO mandate.

Not sure what I'm going to do next. Remote work? Not likely as games job market is dead. Freelance? Maybe. Make an indie game? Maybe. Make some Unreal tools and flog em? Maybe. Bin off games entirely? Build my Youtube channel? Work on videography as a profession? Bugger off to live somewhere very remote and cheap and just do a bit of seasonal work to pay the bills whilst doing loads of climbing and outdoors stuff?

* The last item is very high on my list right now :p

Fortunately I have a good savings runway and very low overheads so I can not work for years if necessary.
 
Same, got given the "Heave-ho" End of October, also serving my notice period till end of Feb.

Currently living in mainland Europe, job market here is rubbish for IT. Had a few interviews but nothing came of them.

Yesterday I had an 5hr interview for a Cloud Architect role. Not fun going through long and multiple interview stage again.

Thankfully, I have zero debt here and in the UK.
