Should You Quit Your Job (Even Now)?
Affinity Labs
Your job is making you miserable. You dread getting up in the morning, you have nightmares about your boss and the thought of looking at that spreadsheet one more time literally makes you sick to your stomach.
But no matter who you turn to, you get the same tired advice: now is not the time to quit.
Layoffs are impacting every industry, professional rank, and geographic region; so it would seem that these days, you’re lucky if you have a job at all – let alone one you like.It’s no surprise that Europeans are indeed clinging on for dear life. While it’s difficult to measure exactly how many of the unemployed left their jobs by choice, there’s certainly a growing wariness of quitting in the months since the economic downturn.
Of course, some still take the plunge, in spite of – or even because of – the recession.

The stress and damage to your own psychological well-being is seldom a good enough reason to stay in a job you hate. Action always feels better than inaction, and works wonders for your self-esteem because you are back in control of your destiny. So plan your way out, put together a good CV, identify jobs you want to do and just get on with it. Do it now!

If you believe in yourself and trust yourself you will always find a job. My motto has always been: If you have a job that you really love then you never have to work a day in your life.
