> when it comes to jobs, always look for a job while employed

I have never done this. Sure, I might have missed out on summer cash, but I enjoyed the breaks between the jobs immensely.

Those are not mutually exclusive, you can specify a starting date one year ahead of signing the offer, if the company is not in a hurry. At least where I live. Then you have bargaining power and vacation at the same time.

I don’t think it’s a requirement. A well timed interview loop and having 6+ offers on the table where you pit them all against each other does wonders for your negotiating position as well
