I just did last week. Will let you know how it goes whenever I get a job lmao
I’m seriously considering taking an unpaid leave just to get back to a better place. I hate how my life has turned into this chaos that revolves around work.
might want to avoid the holiday season though... if you are going quit without a job, might as well do it during seasons when you know hiring isn't as dry... wait till spring!
I’d take a LOA and job search. Just in case it doesn’t work out lol
Why do you want to do this? Are you out of PTO?
You can take unpaid leave for up to a year. I’ve left the company but I’d suggest calling EY Help > HR to ask about the different leave programs and its details. It won’t come back to you.
I understand why you’d *want* to do this. Applying to jobs is a ton of work on top of your full time job. Insurance would be my main concern, but open enrollment starts Nov 1 so it’s not bad timing.
Also gives you time and space to travel if that’s something you want to do. Or just take a break.
EY is pretty generous about unpaid leave time too if you just need a break.
I did it to travel! As long as you have a purpose and a plan afterwards (and enough money saved to keep you afloat), I’d say do it.
Yes. And scary AF. I did it when my husband was in grad school, we were living in an expensive market, and I was carrying a lot of school loans. I made a moral decision to leave a company I couldn’t stomach working at. It worked out, but just as easily couldn’t have. I’d say coming where you are coming from, you’ll be fine. Have enough in savings to not panic for a couple of months and think about what you want to do and how you’ll get there.
So I almost quit earlier this year from being put on a 80% travel project that I hated for quite a few reasons, shortly after returning from maternity... instead I took an unpaid leave. At first I was just going to bond with baby and job search, but then made a last minute decision and left the country for a bit to spend time with my extended family and have them meet my baby. Now back to firm and traveling for a few more months, but it’s just not sustainable. Thinking about applying / quitting yet again. So, in a sense, I might as well quit the first time around and looked for job in earnest instead of returning to the devil I know once the unpaid leave was up.
