A LinkedIn post by Tabassum Hasan, a professional from Delhi, has sparked a lot of conversation. She shared how her friend made a bold choice to quit his job without having another job lined up. Many people were surprised and worried for him, thinking he might ruin his career by quitting in a tough job market.
In her post, Tabassum explained that her friend felt that staying in his job was a bigger risk. He said, “I was already losing… just slowly.” After he quit, things were tough. He didn’t have a steady income and wasn’t getting job offers. Despite these challenges, he spent his time learning new skills and applying for jobs.
Eventually, all his hard work paid off. He found a better job that paid more and had a healthier work environment. He’s now happy with his choice.
Tabassum pointed out that while quitting without a plan isn’t for everyone, sometimes the best choice is to let go of a toxic job. She advised anyone thinking of doing the same to build their skills and have 3-6 months of savings before making such a big decision. She concluded with a positive message: “If staying in your job is too hard on you, sometimes it’s okay to let go.”
Many people reacted to her post, with over 1,800 likes. Some users agreed with her, saying that being in a bad job can drain your energy. Others shared similar experiences, saying quitting was scary at first but turned out great for them. However, some users were worried about the risks of quitting without a safety net, reminding people that it’s not a choice everyone can make.
This discussion highlights how difficult career choices can be today, as some people focus on money while others say mental health matters more.
