Started a new role a few months ago, it’s not the right fit and I’m looking to leave. I’ve been interviewing elsewhere but struggling to find the time to prepare for interviews and just not in the right headspace so haven’t been doing as well as I would like to. Anyone else have left a toxic role without something lined up?

I strongly considered it at my last place of employment but believed the it is easier to find a job when you have one idiom. Slack off at your current place to prep for the interviews, you’re thinking of leaving anyway, what’s the worst that could happen, they fire you so you’re at the same spot as if you’d leave? In that case you can collect unemployment too.

Always have a job lined up. I had same situation but got a job then left. Best day ever. A big EFF YOU to the organization lol

I know 🥲 normally would agree but interviewing on top of 80+ hour weeks is just so draining normally I wouldn’t even entertain leaving before I had something else but feel like I’m not performing as well as I could in the interviews since I’ve such little time

I went kind of an unconventional direction. I started writing finance blogs posts as a side hustle before I quit, and I used that as my income source between jobs. Of course, my spouse was also working, we were pre-kids, and we had a sizeable nest egg.

I have a contact who is a hiring mgr at a company I want to work for. He told me he has an open role for me and set me up with 6 interviews over a 2 week period. They all went really well and HR said I’ll most likely be moving forward to a site visit. But now my contact has ghosted me. After I made 3 outreaches he had his aa schedule time for two weeks out. Why am I being iced?

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
