The plan was to quit on 4/1 but then the stock market started has a breh like:
Luckily my boss was thinking the same thing and in our one-on-one meeting, she brought up the idea of canceling my notice and I agreed. This happened last Friday. In retrospect, I'm very glad that I gave the company an extended notice because they were able to turn around and look out for me on the back end.
A small part of me feels like I'm hustling backwards but a much larger part of me remembers when I was trying to get a job in 2010 after the recession. I'm in no rush to be sending +10 resumes a day for months on end with my savings dwindling away. Admittedly, back then I didn't have any type of specialized skills but since my goal is changing careers, I am concerned that people won't be hiring, let alone hiring people with zero experience on-the-job.
On the plus side, because of the pandemic, I'm finally working from home and I will be carving out more time for professional development and hobbies as a result.
