Did you ever leave a job without having another waiting?

[NewtonMP2100]

. . .not yet. ..though I have wanted to @ times. ..

all depends how miserable you are now. . .and your current circumstances.

Some important things to be concerned with are:

1. Do you have a place to live? If you don't have to worry about paying rent/mortgage. ..that is a good advantage (so you are living with your parents. ..who cares. .. )

2. Health insurance. ..if you need insurance don't. ..even though you can get COBRA and it is cheaper then buying it directly it is still pretty expensive. . .

If you must leave. . . @ the very least sign up with a good temp agency, so that you will have income coming in while (as) you look for something better . . .



good luck!

Yes.


Another reason to have at least 6 months living expenses put away.
When you decide you've had enough, you can walk away and make new plans with no pressures.

Thanks to all.
I can coast for a good long while, but it will mean an upgrade or three that my building may not see during my tenure.
Freescotland tuned in best on my situation . . . some sort of temp/agency work should not be hard to find at all, although I've gotten used to a 10-block commute.
I have no idea what it would take though to get me to make the decision. I wouldn't do it in a fit of rage, or on a horrible day.

I haven't quit without a job already lined up, but that probably is related to having two kids to support.
It helps being in the healthcare field, I could find four jobs tomorrow if I felt like it.
I get recruiters calling every two weeks or so.

Man, I really must've made an impression on you...

I'm like a celebrity spokesman for bad life choices.
