How I decided to quit my job (it took me 6 months).
Honestly, I didn't even know how to quit a job as I had never done it before. 😅
When you're doing something so serious for the first time, it's normal to feel completely lost and confused.
Here's what helped me make the decision:
1) I wasn't feeling happy for quite some time.
2) I knew it wasn't something that would go away. I had been with that feeling for quite some time and the probability of things improving weren't there.
3) I was confident I could find another similar position. If you don't have it, start applying to other jobs and get into a few interviews. It helps building confidence.
4) I had a financial safety net of at least 6 months. I knew I could live comfortably without a job for that amount of time which was enough for me.
5) I had the backing of my girlfriend, family, and friends around me. Talking to these people about the decision helped me build more confidence with their support.
6) I was looking forward to the freedom I was going to get to explore new projects and new jobs. The feeling of change was very exciting and attractive.
For me, it ended up being the right decision.
Which doesn't mean it will be for everyone.
However, if you tick all the boxes above and have the drive to do it, go for it. 🫶
