Roadtrip: will I be gainfully employed in one year?

Prediction market on manifold. I am a 33 year old software engineer, have worked Boeing -> Microsoft -> Amazon, and am financially comfortable for the moderate-term. Currently undecided when I will try to return to gainful employment, but it would very likely be in the tech sector. I am moving out of Seattle (where I have lived for 8 years) between 8/8 and 8/15 with a plan to drive my Tesla solo through all 48 states, spending 1-5 days in each, camping at parks, airBnBs in cities. On this trip I will write more on my blog (link in bio, most posts made on my first leg, april/may, 9 states), work on my side project (llm-based interface & memory feature & scaffold), and talk to strangers about their corner of the world. This question asks whether, on or before August 1, 2026, I will again work for a salary. My current road trip plan would last ~5-6 months. I will not bet in this market.

Liquidity: $1,000. Resolves: 8/1/2026.
