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?

I quit my job 90 days ago. The day I quit I had a ticket to the galapagos islands booked for 3 weeks of travel there. I took my time when I got back to get everything in order and relax. I ticked off 2 more national parks in the PNW and got a lot of mountain biking done.
Once I got back my job search was looking for companies and projects that I think are likely to turn into something. I went through a lot of interview rounds before I accepted a job offer a few days ago for a non-profit in biomedical data.
Sounds ideal. Last time I did this in a similar way. I did apply to 2-5 roles a week which were amazing and appealing roles to me though, with the result I got to keep unemployment insurance requirements met, which paid for my very cheap travel expenses overseas. Eventually one of the long shot roles worked out, and I booked flight home to start work.
