Thinking of quitting without anything lined up. Posting it here only bc I’m on a visa. Not gonna glorify it since I’m quitting only bc I don’t like the nature of my job or the environment. Have no grand big things planned ahead. I’m fine with leaving the country. Has anyone been through this and have any advise?

Some of my friends repatriated before even maxing their visa because of toxic work environment. Some of them went back to their regular offshore jobs. I'm amazed at one of my buddies who became a day-trader at our stock exchange and one is now running a rental property company with his savings.

I really want to be a day trader too!

EY there are ton of job out there much better than this I promise ♥️ try to give a shot. If you decide to go and then come back you can still use your h-1b and do the transfer with consular processing. Good luck!

Any jobs recommendation?
