Quitting a job without a firm offer is a major decision that is viable when you have an emergency fund to cover your fixed expenses for 3 to 6 months or when the impact of the work environment on your physical and mental health is critical.
Factors to evaluate before making the decision:
- Financial cushion calculation: Add up all your basic monthly expenses to determine how many months you can survive without income.
- Active search plan: Establish a daily routine schedule dedicated to updating your professional profile and applying for vacancies.
- Strategic explanation of the gap: Prepare a professional narrative for your future interviews focused on personal development or career transition.
