I've never quit anything in my life. But I hate my job and see no way out and no future. I work 80 hours a week and don't even have time to interview, and am out of pto. Anyone ever quite?

@ds1 fair point and it can definitely be the right move, but saying you won’t settle for mediocrity makes it sound like you’re badmouthing your last gig which is up there with saying your previous manager was insufferable, etc etc blaming external factors

If you have the money to hold you over, confidence that you’ll find something quickly, and a very good reason for quitting instead of continuing to work, then it can work out. Just know that it’s going to be in the back of most interviewers’ minds that you have a gap (even if it’s small)

I quit. Best decision I ever made, the new job is so much better.
How much savings do you have? If you have enough to last you 6 months without breaking a sweat, just walk. If an interviewer asks why the gap, say that you won’t settle for mediocrity.
