Job hunting is very tedious and everyone knows it. So if you had a job and if you didn't like it, you obviously get a dilemma over to quit or not. As a matter of fact when you start hating your job there are zero chances of you ever liking it again. Ultimately when you raise your idea to quit, people around you would have various opinions over your decision and most would recommend you to stay as long as you find a better job or even worse ask you to stick to it and fake your loyalty to move up. The former is an acceptable opinion while the latter is a disgusting reason.
I have been through this drama as I was in a job that my mind,soul and body hated equally. And I stuck to my decision to quit. For a week I was happy that I took a brave decision, but as two weeks passed by I was wondering if it was a dumb decision. While thousands are still job-hunting I just quit a job that I had. I was an on-campus recruit and never really had a clue that I would land up in this kind of job. I was a voice agent in a tech support team for an american retail corporation. Initially I took up this job as a challenge and worked my way to it, but then I realized customer service was not my forte and guys customer service is not that easy and my end users were Americans; enough said. There was so little that I could learn from my job and within two months I knew I hated this job and by continuing here I was doing injustice to myself and my firm. I quit immediately before I was even assured a job elsewhere. I had no idea of my future. I have always taken life as it comes and even this time I hoped life would throw something at me and it did (else I wouldn't have written this article). I wrote a simple test, cleared and got into an IT company. Given the fact that I have never planned for any kind of life's events this job offer came as a surprise as me clearing the test was totally unexpected.
Now what did I do to deserve a job within two months of me quitting a high-paying job from an MNC. I have no idea... But I knew one thing for sure. I was honest with the job I had and my decision to quit was intentional and I trusted my gut instincts. Gladly everything paid off and since am not a atheist I would even agree to the fact that the prayers of my parents and friends contributed to my success as well (all the time!!).
P.S: If you are eager to work on a Monday morning then you are having a successful career.
