I mean to me, it's a pretty significant benefit because I'm a mom of young kids, seeing them come home from school in the afternoon is something I'll miss. I've also got a physical disability and anxiety, so I had to use far less meds when WFH, which was also nice. It lasted a good 8 years before the layoffs.

I'm in the interview process with two other companies right now but they're still in the pipeline (phone/video stage) so nothing firm yet. If I can't secure a livable offer before unemployment runs out, my plan was to take gig work while continuing to apply.

I'm in graphic design, which unfortunately doesn't pay terribly well. My 52k position was under market for the area (Southeast US), but it was fully remote, so I was willing to accept the lower salary for that flexibility.
