Yes. I resigned from my previous position at the end of 2019. Was unemployed for 9 months (little did I know a pandemic would occur 4 months after leaving which made the job search extremely difficult). Lived off savings.

But I don't at all regret it. One of the best and most impactful decision I've made in recent years. I moved cities, my new team is amazing and I plan on staying in this position for a few years. I was very unhappy in consulting- now I'm in industry and like that my schedule is much more stable and flexible. Also like not having to worry about the bench/finding new project roles etc.

Are you considering quitting- if so why (if you don't mind me asking)?

Overall, do what you think is best for you. Resigning now might be risky though considering the uncertainty of the pandemic. Just really think it through, weigh the pro/cons and see if you can stay in your position for a couple more months while job searching.

Hello everyone, I am a fresher and I recently joined a management consulting firm(3 months) with 12+LPA and I realised MC is not for me.
I tried giving it a shot for the first 2 months but then I am just dragging there after. Anyhow yk how it's in MBA, campus placement leli without a thought plus lack of experience in everything. It's tough out there.
I am desperate to switch to creative/marketing/branding/advertising. If anyone could help/guide/refer me in the right direction that'd be great.
