I know it’s hard to go from one job to another with no break but I’d say it is common for people to avoid gaps in employment so typically people go from one job to another with no break. Yeah and like you said new company don’t want to wait either. It’s hard of course.
Hopefully you have a weekend to rest in between. Is this office job or at home again?

It's 100% remote - this company has always been remote, since it started 5 years ago.
I am paying for all of my rent by myself which is pricey and very high for just one person to be able to afford. It cannot be helped right now, my lack of savings. I had to pay a $400 heating bill last month because the heat in my apartment is not efficient. I had to take that money out of my savings, which depleted my savings.
It's difficult for me to save money and get ahead, when it's largely my circumstances that prevent that. Once my husband moves back in this month, he will be paying half the rent and half the expenses, I will also have a much higher salary, and I can add to my savings again. But right now, finances are very tight.
And I honestly do not think that many people can financially afford to take a full week off in between jobs,. Most people's finances are tight.
