Career and purpose

I am 24 and hate my first job. Do I quit?

Not yet — but set a date, and make the next eight months extractive rather than endured.

At 24 the cost of leaving is low, which is exactly why leaving reflexively is a habit worth not forming.

Before you go, take something with you: a skill, a relationship, a piece of knowledge about how the industry really works. Hating a job and learning from it are entirely compatible.

Then leave on a date you chose rather than a day you could not take any more. The difference shows up in every interview afterwards.

Let's figure it out together.
