If you can manage it, my advice would be to just start quietly looking for new opportunities on the side. You may be able to make a pivot. Putting your health first also means trying to make the safest choices so you don't have more stress to deal with.
- lostcolony 4y agoPut a month in between starting something new, too. Depending on the particulars of the healthcare involved that might not even require COBRA (many cover you through the end of the month rather than ending the day you leave; many also cover you day 1 of employment rather than starting X days after, so you can quit on the 1st of one month, start new job on the 1st of the next month, or similar), but even if not, one month of COBRA and missed expenses isn't that bad. But, that way you can actually have a breather, get back into a healthy headspace, etc, before starting in. My best job transitions have had a break in between; my worst were quit job 1 on Friday, start job 2 on Monday.
- endemic 4y agoYeah, I'll second the recommendation to quit early in the month, take some time off, then start the next job before the next month.
