MAN WANTS TO QUIT JOB WITHOUT GETTING NEW JOB 1ST, “NO NEED SCARED, I GOT SAVINGS”

Should I resign without the next job lined up?

Advertisements

Currently planning to leave the company but my notice period is two months. I work in tech and would need time to prepare for the next job.

The only dilemma is that the economy isn’t doing as well and I would have to get another job within the following months.

People around me have been telling me to apply first and it’s bad to have a gap in my resume. But I really feel like bouncing asap, no point hustling for something that isn’t good for my career. What would you guys do?

Edit: I have enough savings to last me 6mths and no financial responsibilities rn. Also quiet quitting isn’t really an option for me. I work in a small team.

Maybe I’m a workaholic idk I kinda enjoy having work to do. Just that the work I do isn’t the right stack/scope for my career progression.

  1. I actually recently did that. Lol.
    Mine was also 2 months notice. So when i managed to get 3 job interviews lined up, i went ahead to quit without a job. Managed to get a job within 1 month and my new company doesnt know i had tendered earlier. So i have 3 weeks break before i start the new job. Haha.
    Take a look at your savings and the rate you are getting job interviews and assess it. I had enough savings to last around 3 to 4 months without a job, so i felt comfortable to quit first.
    The good thing about a 2 months notice is you dont really have to tell your potential employer you’ve already quitted when you are looking for jobs in the first month cus u still have that month’s payslip to back you up.
    Good luck!
  2. I had a 3 months notice. I resigned without a job lined up. New employer eventually found out when they asked for my past 3 months pay slip – my company had this compensation structure which cut my monthly pay by 30% when I serve notice
  3. I did that. Singaporeans are NPCs and obsessed with ‘safety’. They always need something lined up and feel lost otherwise. I say f that. If you think there is no use in staying, just quit first then you can focus full time on studying preparing for technical interviews.
    You need to remember that most job interviews are bullshit and you can waltz into most interviews with minimal prep. Technical interviews however need days of preparation. It could be weeks/months of preparation if it’s a stack or role you aren’t familiar with. It’s hard to prep for technical interviews (possible, but you will be more tired and scatterbrained) while still working a full-time job.
