The worst part is it's in an industry (tech) and role (product management) where the job market is very rough right now. The last time I was laid off I was back in 6 weeks but this time I would be shocked if I'm back that quick.

Curious how you got into PM? Were you formerly technical or did you come from another industry? I have an engineering (computer/software) background and currently do PjM. I turned down 2 PM offers last year, but now looking to enter into pure product, but it seems harder to get a role than a year ago.
