I resigned 1.5 months ago ( my notice period is 3 months ), hoping that I would be able to get a job in that time.

Now, I tried various job sites ( linkedin, indeed ) and via friends - no calls received.

I am a tech support ( 3 shifts ) with 12 year experience. Due to frustration, I did the resignation.

But, since too many newcomers are there,

lesser payment, its gonna be difficult to be get a job.

I have not gotten a single interview for past 50 days. Worried as I may not be able to get job in before the last date.

Staying with parents now, and I have wife and 2 kids. My parents will be able to support us for sometime.

I should not have resigned in the first place.

I dunno think any of this makes you an asshole, just a poor planner. It's a really bad idea to quit a job without having something else lined up, if you don't have the funding to live unemployed for a while.

No, I guess you're not an asshole, but I can't argue against this having been a terrible plan. I would like to ask though, is the 3 month notice period yours or your employers? Because if it's theirs, I can't imagine that's legally enforceable in the US.
