Im COAST FIRE (720k excluding my 1 year emergency fund). I think 55-60k per year withdrawal rate is ideal (so I need around ~1.6mil after taxes) might just do something fun for a while like being a scuba diving instructor, seasonal jobs for a while and retire lol.

My manager and me, and others lost my job after my company did 3 massive layoffs in less then 6 months after atleast 1 yearly layoffs. Crazy. Interviews are difficult now, got into a final stages for a few, solved them but no conversion. Now I am interviewing with companies that does 5-7 rounds. I quesiton my life. When the market was good I had multiple offers in a month!

I love to teach as well and do volunteering teaching, but I was told by my teachers its quite risky being a teacher (pay, oversaturated, you are forced to teach in a neighborhood you dont like, etc). I help build sites for NGOs too, it's my favorite part of building software. I'm unemployed but my life is very busy funnily.
