I quit my first job at a big company after 5 years... it was scary but I wasn't growing there. Best decision ever; I recommend everyone quit or get layoff'ed without a waiting job to learn that being without a job is okay, and that a job is not that big of a deal. Since then, I've been layoff'ed of twice, been purchased followed by a mini-Worldcom blowup of the purchasing company, failed to do my own startup, re-joined a big company, became a manager, and now wondering what's next? I'm thinking my own business again; don't feel like working for others. Quitting and spending time to explore is necessary; you need that period of emptiness and quietness to find what's next (though there's no guarantee you will find it; it's okay to keep taking guesses). So have fun and don't sweat the small stuff like getting a new job soon. Like my friend says, you have the rest of your life to work. I did it myself years ago.

benefits. According to them, I can leave on 1/11/08 itself with a benefit package if
I help with this quarter close and sign a contract saying I will not sue them in future.

One has to be constantly challenged mentally. Otherwise, it is easy to get into a stupid comfort zone and be very happy there! Good for you girl. Vidya Rev,
