Depression after a loss of a job is a valid issue..and many people may experience it. Not sure if you meant it as an insult. Yes I had money to tide me over for 8 months, after being a high flyer my entire life it was my first taste of failure.  Not everyone has a stoic upper lip. Also you want to find the right job. One of my friends was in private equity and he not only needed a job, he needed a suitable one. Took him 6 months to find the right fit, glad his girlfriend was supportive. Sorry you don't have a nice reserve to tide you over such issues.[/quote]

It isn't about failure...it is about overestimating one's value.  Jobs are just that....jobs.  You may feel like you are some super star, but at the end of the day you are just another employee.  From the CEO to the janitor....all are just employees.  If you get laid off, it isn't because you are a failure.  I believe in things happen for a reason....and look...you ended up with more money in the end.  Happened to me the same way each time I was laid off.  Always more money...and always a better gig.  Luckily it didn't take 8 months then again I only needed a few days to process what happened.
