Getting Laid Off - How long can I take off?

I'm an ASO2 getting laid off, not for performance reasons. The lateral market is so tough and I might not be able to secure a role by labor day. 

How long can I take off and go on vacation before PE recruiters and firms write me off? What about for other role within corporates or PE backed portfolio companies?
