Hi there,

I would not recommend to quit unless you have a backup offer already secured – there is too much risk and possibly stress involved with that.

I would consider the following options:

• Talk with your manager / HR. Ask if you could have a less-intense project after the current one, as you risk to burn out
• Negotiate holidays in advance after the current projects
• Negotiate an unpaid leave for personal reasons

Hope this helps,

Francesco

Hi there,

I honestly would not recommend it, but you need to weigh your owns risks/benefits!

If you can use some leave to take time off an prepare (are you in a country with a lot of annual leave), or even ask them for a period of unpaid leave (1-2 months), these are better/safer solutions than quitting altogether!

Dont quit! Just because things are not happening the way you want, you are feeling frustrated. This is very common to be honest and you are not alone.

Take some time off , sick days etc here and there. Check out this for more tips on this: https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/how-to-get-time-off-for-interviews-while-working-11751

Manage your expectations, be patient and continue the job hunt in parallel. 

I am kind of in the same situation, I was able to negotiate a 4 day working until end of this year. Explore if that is an option. 

It is much easier to get a job when you already have one vs looking for one when you don't. Hopefully you don't need to prepare as much given that you are already a consultant, I would suggest taking PTO or some other leave if you make it to the interviews in order to prepare.

Best,
