For anyone that resigned without an offer lined up and took time off, what did you tell your team as a reason for leaving? I’m just not happy with my company but don’t want to jump into something new yet.

I did this over the summer. I told my company I wanted to shift my career and perhaps go into industry. I said I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do yet, but was considering a change from the accounting world, so I was taking time off to do some networking and soul searching. They pushed me hard to stay, but I kept repeating the reasons I wanted to leave. I set a last day and stuck to it!

I haven’t done it but For me I would either say “this isn’t the right fit for me so I’m going to take some time off and reflect”, “I want to spend more time with my family and decide what I want to do next from there”,

What will you tell your next employer? As an employer, I’d be interested in why you left without a job in hand.

Got it. Presumably you have savings to fund you in the meantime? Might be a generational thing but I’d be terrified to leave a job without one in hand.

We had several people leave with this situation and they just said they were still evaluation their options/offers
