Do not quit your job without at least a written offer. It is 100% an issue for resume reviewers, hiring managers and interviewers. I have seen plenty of candidates passed over for exactly this reason.

My brother quit his (admittedly bad) job in February of 2020. He didn’t find work beyond Amazon warehouse temp till 2021. He blew through a ton of savings and is still recovering. While don’t believe and sincerely hope we are looking at anything like 2020 again, it is impossible to know and it’s way better to pay it safe.

Your job search will be easier while still employed and less stressful.

Don’t worry about getting assigned more assignments. You can leave those behind when you take a new job. Seriously, after a few years you’ll have seen plenty of people come and go, sometimes suddenly. Organizations will find a way to fill the gap (or try aren’t a very good organization).
