I hate both these situations I think. Although while working a toxic job can suck the life right out of you. I think not having a job and the stress of that is probably way worse however that is just my opinion.

Having a Job is a good thing. The unfortunate reality that we all need to pay for stuff to survive makes it necessary. Be grateful for any job you have and try to improve the situation.

Being unemployed for sure. Financial stress is a 24/7 problem. Work stress sucks, but I'm only dealing with it 40 hours a week.

I think being unemployed is worse at face level, although I do think (and I've seen cases with others) where working at toxic place can be just so damaging it becomes a necessity to leave. I think this why it's always good to have a little bit saved away (I know this can be a luxury nowadays) to be able to afford some time to switch positions if needed.

Anyone available to review my resume/guide me through this job search? I’ve been applying places for the past 6 months and am not getting responses. Unemployment has run out and I’m starting to crumble under the pressure of bills. My experience the past 6yrs has been in smaller companies where my role was never just one thing but instead spread over multiple departments, so I’m struggling to narrow down how to convey the vast experience I do have.
