Title: Before I was laid off, I&#x27;d been working on a side project and had been looking for an excuse to quit my job to commit to it fully. I have quite a lot saved, and now I can survive off severance alone for over a year.<p>My fear is that should I return to the job market, I&#x27;ll look like I&#x27;m trying to cover up a long period of unemployment on my resume. Employers would see that I only committed to this project after being laid off.<p>At any rate, it wouldn&#x27;t be much of a handicap signal.
