Burned Out in NYC: I Quit My Job With No Backup Plan! 😱

Hey everyone, I just made the wildest decision of my life. After years of working 55-60 hours a week as a project manager in a New York tech firm, always on call and constantly stressed, I finally snapped. I emailed my boss this morning and quit on the spot—no two weeks, no backup plan. I’ve been thinking about leaving for months, but actually doing it feels unreal. I’m relieved, but also terrified. I have about $200k in savings, so I know I’ll be okay for a while, but I’m still freaking out. I’m considering picking up bartending gigs to stay busy and make some cash while I figure things out. I have a few interviews lined up, but I’m nervous about explaining why I left so suddenly. Has anyone else walked away from a job like this? How did you handle the rollercoaster of emotions in those first few weeks? I’d love to hear your advice or stories. 😬🙏 #JobCareer #Career #CareerChange
