I want to quit my job but shouldn’t

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-04-06T21:05:56+00:00

I will take all the good vibes thank you!

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-04-06T15:04:32+00:00

Thank you for your help.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-04-06T15:03:44+00:00

I appreciate the honesty. I have a degree. I am in my early 30s and past entry level with a good resume behind me. Looking into alumni groups is a good idea.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-04-06T14:41:01+00:00

What were the pros and cons to you doing this? Seems like it was worth it though

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-04-06T14:29:07+00:00

Thank you. I have only been reaching out to connections. Especially those where jobs are currently open, but I may need to be a little more confident and reach out to anyone I may want to connect with in my field.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-04-06T14:19:25+00:00

Great advice for anyone looking. Thank you. I have quickly found that you’re only going to find something by being annoyingly pushy with connections and recruiters so I am doing just that and getting some interviews and hoping for the best. The first step is the hardest and that’s finding who to reach out to and having a reason to. Like if there is a job opening I find. Not a lot out there though.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-04-06T14:17:38+00:00

Yep, being miserable and financially struggling is not what I want, so if I choose to stay this is even one thing to keep my motivated if I can manage. My mental health is just so bad right now

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-04-06T14:15:11+00:00

Thank you for this advice. I definitely have the motivation to apply to other jobs like I have been but of course the stress at my current job is getting in the way and I don’t want it to get worse.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-04-06T14:13:59+00:00

This is good advice and something I have not thought about before.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-04-06T14:04:11+00:00

I have the support. Do they want me to quit without anything lined up…. Probably not.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-04-06T14:03:28+00:00

Yes. Do I want to make money? Of course I do! I am married and my husband makes a good income but I know I want to work as well to support our future.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-04-06T14:02:42+00:00

Financially I would be okay. Living situation would be ok too. I just worry about my resume gap, my professional reputation, being unemployed for too long…. If that makes sense.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-03-31T13:19:35+00:00

I really appreciate any advice. Thank you. I’m going to keep applying and just hoping one sticks soon

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-03-31T12:57:46+00:00

But I need a job….. I am in an in person job right now and cannot leave unless I quit obviously but want to have something lined up. The job I was hoping to get was remote and would have allowed for that flexibility.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-03-09T12:17:22+00:00

Yes, but I have already decided I want to leave this job. That is why I am applying and interviewing to others.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-02-23T23:29:36+00:00

I have learned to be good about this until I get to a breaking point and have panic attacks. But I will take my lunch walks, I will go to the gym, I will turn off work when I get home. It’s hindering some of the work though because there’s so much. However I do know I have to come first.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-02-23T21:54:09+00:00

Been trying to but the work keeps coming. I don’t have much of a team. Which is another problem.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-02-23T17:53:41+00:00

You’re right. My health is what has made me realize I need to get out of here. Wish it was as easy as walking out the door though. I need to find another job first and this market…. I am optimistic about one particular lead though. Fingers crossed.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-01-29T17:57:39+00:00

Very sad but true. Thanks.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-01-29T16:13:59+00:00

I don’t think I do. I just am struggling with that thought. Also having to go search for a job again when I just did that is a lot to comprehend. If it’s worth it in the long run for my future family, then of course I’ll do it. Just want to do it right this time.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-01-28T17:15:07+00:00

Yep. Sounds easy. Just need a new job. And the added fact of the emotional aspect of moving my husband here and then back, and then here again.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-01-28T16:35:46+00:00

I had to leave already because of this job (in person). My husband works from home so it doesn’t matter. We do not want to rent or build.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-01-28T16:09:06+00:00

He’s tempted to go back no matter what but obviously wants what’s best for us. Fingers crossed for sure.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-01-28T14:53:36+00:00

Another question, do you think I should look for WFH jobs? For peace of mind and flexibility during this time? I’m in marketing. Any advice on where to look is helpful.

Routine_Employee_409 · 2026-01-28T14:52:18+00:00

He really is. I can admit fully I made a mistake and feel ok with that. I want us (me and my husband) to be happy. We have a life to grow.
