The Doctor's Crossing Carpe Diem Podcast

Episode #73: Should you have a job before quitting?


Listen Later

If you're planning to make a move to a nonclinical role, you may be wondering if you should leave your current position before your job search or find a job first and then give notice. Many factors like burnout, finances, length of job search, and a potential gap on your resume can factor into this complex decision. I'll be going solo in today's episode to take an in depth look at this common question about quitting and discuss the advantages and disadvantages to each approach, as well as offer guidance on how to make the best decision for your needs.
