I am currently quitting a company of 10 years of employment. And I keep hearing how everything's shit. Btw. I'm located in Tokyo where it isn't as bad, apparently, but...

Let's see. My plan:

- Have my own company and start looking for customers. (Rust consulting)

- Keep looking for job opportunities, but don't succumb for shit jobs.

It might be that I'm too hopeful, but you can't know unless you try.

Anyway, I may join the "everything is shit" crowd in half a year if nothing pans out, but until then, I'm hopeful.



Best of luck!


Thank you!


why not start looking for customers before quitting?


It's very hard when you are overworked to a near-burnout state. I needed to quit to save myself.


I suspect the reason is highly personal to their particular situation, but also most likely justified.


Don't leave unless you have something lined up lol


That might be a truism that's generally applicable, but some people have enough of a safety net to last them several years while building a business. We don't know OP's circumstances.


I'm am not willing to wager my mental health for staying if I feel the current work environment would be detrimental for that.
