Best time to quit

Just got my h1b visa approved today. I want to quit soon. But my start date at the new company is jan 10th.

The company holidays begin from 23rd dec to jan 1st. I am confused about when to quit
If I quit before 23rd then I can give a good 2 weeks notice but I’ll lose out on my unemployment days(can be unemployed only for 60 days on h1b) . I’ll also get a good break before my new job. Can I put in my resignation just before the holidays to quit on 3rd?

If I do it after the holidays, then I’ll put in my resignation on 3rd to quit on 7th. Would the notice period be too short?

I know I can cash out the PTO if I quit before the holidays. Only thing worrying me is the number of unemployment days. Any suggestions on how to proceed ???

It’s been a year and 2 months since I joined the company. I am an experienced associate.

You’ll be okay to quit before the holidays. You’ll still be within the 60 days. And you def need a break. And if you put in your two weeks on the 22nd, you’ll still be employed up until two weeks after that.

However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
