I actually ended an extended career break around this time last year and landed two different jobs since then (first didn't work out, second is going okay minus the AI psychosis) purely through networking.

I'm not saying it's easy out there. But simply being talented is a small part of finding a job, especially given the post-COVID shifts in the labour market.

All that being said, I think anyone quitting should only do so with either another job lined up or at least a 12 month runway.
