It would always be best to have a job lined up before quitting the current one. I know it may seems that it would be better to just quit and focus on job hunt but you never know what might happen. The market is still hot, lots of job and lots of hiring. Also as the year draws to and end recruitment winds down due to holidays, vacations, budget, etc. And of course it’s always best to tell recruiters that you currently have a job and just are looking for new opportunities instead of saying I’m unemployed.
Don't quit until you have an offer you want to accept in hand. If things are really that bad at work, take vacation or get a doctor to back medical LOA.
If you quit and things fall through, you'll be even more stressed. and you'll be more likely to take whatever job you can, even if it's not a good fit because you need the money or you're worried about the gap on your resume growing. It's also a lot easier to land a job when you already have a job. It's unfair, but even a month out of work makes a difference.
Don’t quit until you have a job lined up. Old advice. Best advice.

I’ve really had enough of consulting, I’m at a particularly challenging promotion point (a promotion I don’t want since I don’t want to stay in consulting), and the projects in the pipeline don’t interest me. It seems like a better longer term investment to leave to avoid rushing landing the next role, but I want to make sure there aren’t any unexpected repercussions (there’s obviously the risk that it takes 6+ months to find something, though I have the funds to support myself)
Same - I’ve done this for 2 companies over the past 6 months. Stuff just takes time to nail down, recruiters will understand that you have a full time job.
If cash flow isn’t an issue take the time off, or ask if you could go to 50% capacity? Or take a mental health break
If you have enough to last 12months,quit now. If no, keeping working (probably not come naturally but maybe just do enough to survive) and applying/interviewing until you hit 12months of savings or find that role you love. #Optionality
Don’t. When I left BCG it took me 7 months to find a job, and that was in consulting which I didn’t want to do. Now leaving McKinsey it’s taken over 2 months. You never know if it’ll be easy or hard, but it takes a while, and you’ll have no negotiating leverage if you have to take your only job (as I have).
IBanking,maybe? lol
In general I’d agree it’s better to be employed than not but it’s not a huge deal to most companies either way. I’ve known plenty of people who quit or took extended time off and landed great jobs. I’d still recommend staying and continue interviewing but I don’t think your chances of finding a job really changes that much
Why won’t they give you LOA? I thought that was what transition was for
Ah understood. That makes sense
