If You Were Unemployed, But Had A Hefty Savings Of 10K, In What Ways Would You Approach Your Job Search Differently? - lemdit.com

The point is not to chill and just burn through the savings and not work. How would having that much money saved, change the way you look for jobs?

10k is “a hefty savings”? That money is gone very quickly if you have a family and a mortgage, etc.

I don’t think 10k would change anything, I would still need to hurry to get a job.

Ok in your case, let’s say you have 80K in savings. How would that change the way you go about looking for a job?

I would then take time to find a remote company which to some degree would align with my moral values. I would not need to rush to keep working in the automobile industry, but instead would try to get in somewhere where they would need my experience and work with renewable energy or smart grids or something similar. For that I would probably need to spent some time doing some courses on that topic and educate myself so I’m employable. The 80k would give me that possibility.

(My case is rather specific that I also need a work visa sponsor to be able to stay in Korea, so that makes it much more difficult.)
