My own recent-ish exeprience on this may be of interest - I was made redundant (worked in City) in 2008. I kept job hunting like a demon, and went through three jobs in 18 mths, going from unemployed to 100K - but each time I moved companies, and I think I did not spend less than 4 out of 5 lunch hours glued to phones hunting down leads.

Not sure if thats of interest
