Can I quit with nothing else lined up? I have the savings to not work for…idk a year if I really wanted to. I know that when I go to reapply for places, it will probably look like I got fired. Such a corporate slave.

If you want to and can afford to, go for it.

When it comes time to explain the gap, be honest. You were unhappy with the work you were doing, you had been diligent in saving your money, and being in a position to step back and decide what you wanted to do, you took it.

Great way to phrase this. Would not hold this against anyone if phrased as eloquently as you did here

Do it. You can always explain the gap in interviews.

What will you do about health insurance?

Can probably get on my partners or worst case COBRA

COBRA is great. Also try United’s new self-employed health insurance. It’s much more cost effective.

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?
