The biggest regret of my career is taking a job out of desperation.
I was working for a small agency (~75% of its income came from two clients) and the boss pulled me into his office on a Friday and said that he had to let me go because we weren't getting enough business in. I freaked out a little and ended up getting a job at a shop that paid less pretty much just because their stack matched what I was familiar with. Since then, I both started putting money into an emergency fund (three months of expenses) and started diversifying my skills. Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to do the first thing but the second is pretty universally doable.
