Don't quit. Update your resume, start looking, and if you get laid off collect the unemployment and keep searching

Unless you can afford then just say fuck it and quit.

Depends how much you have saved and how good your book is. I took a year off to travel and was able to freelance remotely. Was fucking awesome. No regrets.

If you want to get out bad enough you'll figure out a way to make it work. I took a leap of faith without a huge savings and the freelance work is steadily coming in because I have solid relationships that I built over the years. It also propelled me to launch my side business.

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
