I (23M) absolutely hate my job. I’m overworked, unappreciated, and feel completely unfulfilled.
I wish I could quit now, but there are two big reasons why I can’t:
They’re sending me to an industry conference in mid August. The travel and details have been booked for months and I really want to go.
I have to move apartments in early September and it’s going to be a huge expense. I can’t lose my income stream right now.
I’m actively looking for other jobs now, but it’s a terrible time for it.
I’m thinking about quitting in late September, even if I don’t have anything else lined up. My parents think this is crazy, but my current job is making me so miserable. I am scared I won’t be able to find anything and my savings will run out, but I don’t want to wait forever in this job that’s destroying me. I can live for about eight months on my savings, but it would feel awful to drain my savings completely at this age.
Any advice for what I should do?
