Quit my job on the spot Friday.

I’m a software engineer. I make a good salary. Worked at a heavily toxic company (we were made to log time in 30 minute intervals on the dot, managers frequently screaming at us when time is missing or late, coworkers shit talking one another, openly racist in the office etc.) After getting verbally abused Friday by my bosses boss for having my time logged 4 minutes late and accused of being “lazy”, I walked out. I’ve got 2 years of experience, the market is absolutely horrible right now and I’m not sure what I’m gonna do. This company broke me, and made me question my career choice. It made me hate coding, which I’ve always loved. I’ve got some savings (probably a year of burn) but do not know what to do. Anyone in a similar spot? Any advice?
