I quit my job because of a cartoon about having a LaTeX CV. I had no plans of making a move, when I saw this cartoon on reddit: http://stevehanov.ca/blog/index.php?id=56 http://stevehanov.ca/blog/index.php?id=56 So I redid my CV from scratch in LaTeX, and it looked pretty good (http://danielromaniuk.com/files/Daniel_Romaniuk_CV.pdf http://danielromaniuk.com/files/Daniel_Romaniuk_CV.pdf). All of this CV business made me curious to poke around, so I pinged the few companies that are involved in flight simulation. It turns out they each had a few average-interesting positions available, and my wife and I are both sick of living in Dubai, so I send out a few CVs. A few months later, I accepted a job at the last company where I worked. I was just waiting for an email about my security clearance going through. And waiting. And waiting. To make a long story, I didn't get the job. The combination of a job freeze and an endless security clearance process slowly made the offer disappear. Just as well though. I have really interesting plans now to move next year, and it's a thousand times more ambitious and exciting than where I would be now if it had all worked out. I guess I just needed to get that damned LaTeX CV out of my system. Edit: oh yeah, and I formally quit my current job during this whole process, thankfully they had the grace to cancel my resignation when the new thing fell through. That was a stupid thing to do, kids.
