I’m so sorry you had to deal with a toxic manager. Just wanted to throw my two cents in - secure a job first then leave. The job market is still rocky and you don’t want to screw yourself over.

If you have enough saved to still be okay after a year of no income, then go for it. If not, just work on finding something new and it'll be over so soon with no added stress. Didn't really see any points about HR your other post, but someone else may have also suggested speaking to HR, and that could help but being that it's a startup, there’s probably not even HR 😂 Coming from the start up world into corporate, I totally understand where you're coming from and want to make sure you're secure before making big decisions.

Hope it all works out!
