3 or 6 month emergency fund?

When it comes to the emergency fund, i know 6 months is always the best. But is there ever a reason to go for a 3 month?

im single, and live by myself. My job is an IT union job, but it technically is TLT (fully employed w/ full benefits but has an end date) and I can "reapply" to extend it and when a permanent opening is available I would slide into that.

Would it make sense to just a 3 month since im by myself and my job is protected by the union, or with how shit the IT job market is, best to just do 6 months?
