It's crazy that I see this pop article pop up on my feed now, because I just quit less than a week ago, and not have anything lined up, for the first time.
For me, it's been a weird emotional ride. I've second-guessed my decision to quit several times, but I ultimately committed. I wanted to make a decision based on courage instead of fear. I basically just want to see if I'm cut out for making it on my own without a security blanket (although I have a good financial cushion saved up for a while). My job was quite stressful at times, which also pushed the decision. I wanted to leave in the best graces possible, before burnout became an issue.
Right now, I'm taking a bit of a vacation, but I have some side projects and ideas lined up that I'm going to try and foster on a full-time schedule, which is an opportunity I might not always have. I figure I'll either succeed, or learn something (or many things, ideally).
I'll probably write post about this after a while, and let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!
