Have you ever quit a job?
How do you manage the stress of no income when you have bills+rent. And the logic in not sticking it out, even though it's really not suitable job / company for you.
Not sure how much more of this I can take.
- Generally speaking, I suspect most healthy people try to find another gig first before quitting, in order to avoid the crippling stress of financial problems.Continuity
- Partly in a shit economy like this one. I certainly wouldn't recommend rage-quitting.
Although I have done when I was much younger.Continuity - Particularly, not partlyContinuity
- I've got interviews lined up, 3 next week... I guess I just got to hold on till an offer comes in...shapesalad

always went into the void and got picked up quickly after taking a large-ish break. i think this helps a lotsted - I pretty much rage quit my previous job. They were a bit shocked and offered my to stay in on a freelance basis, which I did until I found a new job.scruffics
