Keep a robust emergency fund on hand, always be networking, just be prepared for the separation call. Low burn rate + emergency fund + unemployment insurance = safety net during a recession. If you have any health issues you’ve been putting off having addressed, do it now while you have insurance.

By unemployment insurance, do you mean state run unemployment?

Or are there reputable private insurers?

[toomuchtodo]

Yes, state unemployment systems.
