Anyone else taking time off before job searching?

SWE, getting laid off at the end of the month. When I first found out I was going to get laid off (company is going under), I panic applied to 2 jobs, and was one step from an offer (I just needed to send references). I ended up pulling out because I decided to take a few months off instead (also I didn’t love the role tbh).

I went back to work in the fall after 14 weeks of maternity leave, and I’ve felt underwater since. It just wasn’t enough time. I’m going to take a few months to get into good healthy habits again, spend more time with the baby, get my home in order, get a better routine going, and upskill/interview prep so I can hopefully target companies that give adequate maternity leave for the next pregnancy (my state is starting 5 month leave in 2026 but that’s kind of far away).

Anyone else taking a bit of a break?
