A little backstory: I have been at my current position for almost 18 months. It was/is my first job out of college and while I enjoyed it at first, an extreme turnover rate and lack of consistency in my role has caused me to hate it. For context I work at a small firm that generally has 8-12 people working in the office at any given time. In my time here, I have seen 13 people leave or be fired and this has caused my job to become increasingly difficult. It feels as if every couple months someone gets fed up and leaves, leaving me and the others who stay with more work to deal with. The last couple of months have been especially rough, and at this point I don’t really see a future where I am happy here. My issue is I want to resign but don’t have a new job lined up. This is partially by design as I would like to take some time to improve my mental well being before I get back into working full time. Does anyone have experience with quitting without a new job lined up? If so, is there any advice you can give or insight into the challenges I may face.
TLDR; I want to quit my job without another lined up. Any advice?
