If you have that many interviews lined up just hold out a little longer. ALWAYS better to not quit first unless you’re really dying. People will always assume you got fired or something

Also if you work at IBM it takes a minimum 60 days to get fired based on performance. Just fyi 🤓

Not by choice 😬 but I basically was laid off without anything lined up and I had 4 interviews but no offers within the next month. It’s not ideal. Would have preferred to have an offer in hand before leaving

Bro or Bra - I did. I had six months of runway (not touching 401K). Took a five month hiatus from the real world (no kids, wife). Doing it before 4Q wasn’t a great idea because no one was hiring but I ended up in consulting.

For me the money was well worth it. Have gotten loads of compliments on resume from recruiters. Updating was a barrier to me searching for work - I’d just keep putting of starting a job hunt and used an outdated resume as an excuse so removing that barrier was helpful
