> You have a pile of saving and a severance package.

You might also have a family whose food, shelter, education and medical care still need to be paid for. And even if you're a single person in your twenties, you might want to use that pile of savings for your retirement (or to buy a home in the future) instead of impulsively blowing it on a wild trip.

Alternatively, work at defining the next step of your career. Work no more than 6 hours per day on this, you are likely stressed, include rest in your cycle.

Network extensively, habitually.

>You're in IT right?
