I am 25, full-time employed and taking an undergrad degree as well. I am planning to resign during this uncertain period as I am at my limit for this job. Is my decision justifiable?

This company is family-owned and I am non-family staff. I have tolerated their unprofessional conduct for two years and have been preparing to leave ever since I joined. I took this job to gain skills & some savings while schooling and I do not see a future in it. Since my classes are at night, I can look for a new position. If I focus I can graduate in two years. I want to leave my job, I have planned this day for two years. Given the recession due to Covid-19, should I still go ahead?

Do you have savings for more than 6mths, if so, i think you are ready.

If not, I am not sure.. you have to see whether being jobless is a greater unhappiness than being unhappily employed.

In both cases, both are unhappy, but at least you are getting paid in one of the scenario.

I think the key variable to consider here is $.

Anyone dependeing on you? Raining day fund? Need to givee money to parents?

Two decisions dependent on the variable.

$ is not a serious problem. Leave.
$ is a serious problem. How serious? Can you find a part-time job? (Post-Covid) Waiter? Transcriber? Use the skills you've learnt from your degree?
