Poll of the Day > Considering just giving 2 weeks on job without anything lined up

(+) Yeah! (+)

Convince me not to (or do it)

Truthfully I tried extremely hard to give the job a chance but it is making me realize that ain't worth it

Probably might do uber and some crap job while looking for what I wanna do next

Do you have enough in savings to cover your living expenses?

Have you been applying to new jobs?

1) yes

2) yea but bruh they all seem the same so I think I need to reset my career as a whole. I keep complaining but I have never in my life hated something so much in my life :O

I hope to never experience those feels. Best of luck figuring out what you want to be when you grow up.

Nah too much crazy crap going around I'd be afraid of travel

But i do feel trapped, idk why because im not but that feeling is very clear. Idk i may need some psych analysis, corporate life ain't for moi

Do it

You'll be more motivated to find something else if you don't have anything to fall back on

If you're okay taking a gap in your career, which might raise some flags while searching for a new job, then go ahead and put in your two weeks. If you aren't happy, staying and grinding it out isn't going to change anything.

If you're actively searching for a new job though (not a "crap job" like you mentioned), then do not put in your two weeks until you get a written offer from a new place.

My advice is a bit of a combination of the two points above -- spend some time searching for a new job and/or applying to grad school (or undergrad, idk if you've done college) while still working your current job. If, after a few weeks, maybe a month, you haven't found anything promising, then put in your two weeks and start getting set for the "uber/crap job" combo. Then use the uber/crap job time to really soul-search and decide if you're going to switch careers altogether or not.

Either way, just know that gaps in job history are indeed red flags. While they aren't death sentences by any means, just be prepared to explain yourself if any interviewers down the road decide to ask.

Well you have money to fall back on so perhaps a break from work in general is needed. During that time you can work out what you want to do next. Ideally finding a job while in a job is better but either way works.

@Muffinz0rz thanks I appreciated that (and all the other advice of course)

Might wait it out until the 4th

Reminds me of that one job I had. 6 days a week 12.5 hours a day.

Kept at it until I started thinking about driving off the road on the way to work. Just decided to stop showing up honestly.

Join the military. That way, you can travel AND be protected by your rocket launcher!
