Direct answer
Quit or stay?
Pause before the recommendation
Three answers could change this decision.
- 01
Which specific condition must change for staying to become acceptable?
- 02
What verified evidence shows the alternative is real rather than imagined?
- 03
Which financial, legal or personal consequence starts as soon as you resign?
Smallest reversible test
Spend 14 days building the next option without resigning.
Define the minimum conditions for a better role, calculate your real financial runway, have three external conversations and test one change you can make in the current job.
- Measure
- Verified opportunities, months of runway, response from the current employer and your energy after concrete action.
- Success
- You can describe a credible next path with evidence, or you identify a realistic change that makes staying temporarily useful.
- Stop
- Stop the self-guided test and seek appropriate help if the situation involves immediate safety, unlawful conduct, acute health risk or crisis.
Worked example
What changes after the questions?
A manager wants to resign after three months of excessive workload and no clear promotion path.
The questions show that autonomy matters more than title, while the external job market and financial runway are still untested.
They request a bounded role change, speak with three employers and review the decision after two weeks using real evidence.
