How I QUIT my job without having another job lined up | Career Change

As many of you might know, I quit my job in banking and left the industry a long time ago. I quit my job without having another one lined up. But I did have a plan - although everything turned out differently! #multiplecareers #careerchange #personalsuccess

You might be thinking of quitting your job someday to start your own business, work freelance, or simply do a mini-retirement. Quitting your job without having another one lined up is something that you need to consider very carefully, but if you want to know how it went for me, then this video is for you

In this video, I want to talk about what I did in the months before I quit my job, and some things I wish I’d known or had done BEFORE I quit. I’ll go through: Planning my finances, the process of resigning, a testing or experimentation phase I did to see if I really wanted to do this, and I how planned everything.

I just quit my job with nothing lined up. I have 6 months rent saved in my bank and another 6 in investments. I’m terrified but I made the best choice as my mental health was deteriorating due to this

[sl-texh]

I hate my job, it is getting worse and worse. Very stressed. They are not nice to me, cannot stand it anymore

Woke up at 7am and looked for this video. Starting planning for March, wish me consistency 😅

I had all of the above problems. I had to go on meds for anxiety, stress, depression, insomnia, and fibromyalgia. The job literally push me off the edge. Everything that was going on. Everything, ..gossip, managers and employees arguing on the floor in front of everyone, favoritism, affairs. Employees were denied doctor appointments and leave of absence for surgeries, an employee got promoted to a manager after he got 2 girls pregnant! It was just awful! Girls would be crying at their workstations cause they were denied to go to a funeral. Im so glad i left.

Great video! I loved hearing your story! I just had a similar story (quit after a month without another one lined up). Great job with the advice! ⭐⭐⭐

Thanks for posting. This video is really informative. I left my 9 to 5 thirteen years ago to pursue small business ownership. It ended with a lot of ups and downs. However, I eventutally made my way to freelance work and consulting.

Have you ever thought of quitting your job to move another role, industry, or perhaps even move into freelancing? If so, what is holding you back? Let me know, would love to hear from you!

[janayr]

[bawaharees]

Despite having great colleagues and a supportive environment with a manageable workload, I'm considering leaving because I feel like I'm in the wrong career. Doing something I don't enjoy is mentally draining, and the more I advance, the more stressed I become. The career path within my current company is not what I want to pursue. 😢

For now, I don’t want to be part of the corporate world.

Well I’m quitting today I don’t have another one lined but I have to cuz I can’t this place is too toxic

[lishadu]

Thank you for making this video and sharing your experience. What's holding me back is that I don't know if I am qualified for the job I want. I felt I lack the relevant work experience and don't know what to say in the cover letter or interview. I thought maybe I should take some courses to build the knowledge. But time is a big cost.

[HCho-xecj]

I agree with you. Planning is important, but sometimes it could give me an excuse for not taking action like "I'm still planning and I'll take a big start after that." Around 20% of planning could be appropriate!

I'm currently getting toward maser's degree and I thought I would get a job in the industry similar to what I studied. However, I figured out which field I really want to work in that has a little bit of overlap. In addition, I want to work in another country which adds another challenge. I should have saved some money during the course, but I couldn't. Now, I started saving little by little and got a side job which would rely on after getting the degree about five months later. To answer your question, finance is a key I think.

Thank you for this video :D

I enjoy ur video great tips thank you.

I used to work in the parks and while people easily assume it's a "fun" job I was personally miserable there and that I overlooked the signs that they didn't want me and that I was yelled at and talked down to by my bosses and patrons. So I learned that hard way on not knowing where I'm not wanted. However, amid the pandemic they let me go due to COVID closures and then less than a year later I found much better employment where they respect and value me more (in between my past and current job I did have a good safety net to fall back on).

Desperately trying to get out of the medical field. Thank you.
