How do you know when it's time to quit without getting another job first?

Ppl leave bcos of toxic environment with terrible bosses. I quit without a job because of this reason. Take care of your mental health is priority!

Few superficial signs for consideration:

a. Dread getting out of the bed for work;

b. Avoid seeing/ talking to your supervisors;

c. Find your career is heading nowhere;

d. The thought/ sight of work stressed you out.

1. No growth due to slow/compliance ridden environment and zero game plan for your free time
   It is okay if due to slower pace you manage some form of work life balance and you use this out of work time to grow in ways you enjoy.

2. Growth for the sake of growth mindset exacerbated by culture that values 24/7 productivity
   Rest and space is vital for making good decisions that create value and results in satisfaction. Rushing all the time to grow faster and faster and hit higher and higher targets without space to think is a recipe for burn out.

3. Disregard of personal care
   When you don’t invest in yourself whether mentally, physically or emotionally because you’re only focused on sacrificing time for work

4. Colleagues, despite best efforts, are not collaborative
   Even if you’ve given more than taken and colleagues don’t open up and work collaboratively, this is going to slow your career growth significantly. Unless this is the pace you hope for and want.

5. You know you are very unhappy with your current status quo but you’re scared of leaving
   This could be because you put in a lot and now you have some form of loss aversion. You’ve forgotten you can create value elsewhere and still achieve satisfaction. Regarding this fear, it helps to remember that there are no right or wrong paths. Whether in personal life or career. More paths branch out as you make your decisions and close certain doors. Sometimes if you can also make sure that as you close doors, they aren’t locked forever by focusing on achieving that outcome as you leave.

When you are showering for work, and anxiety kicks in while comtemplating if you should take MC just to avoid work on a daily basis.

if you dread heading to work, leave!
