My job sucked and I hated it (doing sales analytics for a FinTech startup). Boss was an asshole, his boss was an asshole. You know how it goes. I had probably a year's worth of living expenses so I said fuck it and just quit with nothing lined up. I had the idea that I was going to try to start a business. That didn't really get off the ground. I'm still piecing together why exactly. Perhaps I'm not the kind of person that's good at that kind of thing. In the end I spent about 4 months unemployed. I did get a new job, which paid better than my previous one (and had less assholes). And then about month into that, a FAANG recruiter hit me up and I got a job at one of those places. Ended up doubling the salary I had originally quit at. So it all worked out. But I feel I got very lucky.
