I hate my job (working 70+hour weeks, hate the work, am depressed, etc), and am planning on quitting at the beginning of 2019, after receiving my eoy bonus. I should have ~60-70k saved by then (which would be roughly 2 years of expenses in cash savings-could last longer through using lines of credit,etc). I also have no debt.
I would want to look for a new job over the coming months, but it is too hard for me to do, considering I am currently working 70+hour weeks, and it could potentially put my eoy bonus in jepoardy if my employer finds out. I am also still looking at doing an educational program after leaving, and could always go back to school if things go very badly.
My montly expenses are about $2500 (which could be flexed down a bit).
I know the classic advice is never to leave a job without having a job, but I have thought this through quite thoroughly, and it seems very reasonable for me to leave, rather than stick to a job I hate and suffer a mental break or find another sub-par job and take it just because of the rule.
